Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon | The Writing on the Wall (5:1-31)

Daniel 5:1-31

Lessons Learned from the Son of Nebuchadnezzar:

Fathers are a blessing to their children if they are willing to see it- either as models to emulate, or as examples to avoid. Often, they are both– teaching us through their successes and failures.

1 Corinthians 10:11-12

We all have precious vessels of God under our stewardship– the question is how we will use them.

Galatians 6:7-8 // Romans 9:21-23 // 2 Timothy 2:20-21 // 2 Corinthians 4:7

The writing is not just on the wall in another language, it’s in the book in our own language: our days are numbered and apart from Christ, we’ll be found wanting.

“If you say, “The last thing I want to hear about in my troubled [life] is the wrath of God,” you are like a frustrated fisherman on the western coast of Indonesia on December 26, 2004, saying, “The last thing I want to hear about in my troubled fishing business is a tsunami.” — John Piper

Isaiah 64:6 // Romans 3:23-24 // Romans 4:23-25

“I’m glad we are saved by grace and not by good works because I don’t want to sit in heaven and listen to everybody brag for eternity about how they got there.” — D.L. Moody

Today could be your last chance to repent.
