Episode Notes
I. Belshazzar does two things.
They are all drunk
They Blasphemes God.
II. Three indictments!
Pride
Blasphemy
They did it willfully
III. Three Lessons
When we reject God, we invite His judgment because blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
No defense can save us when God says, “Your number is up.”
It is necessary for us as believers to read the handwriting on the wall.
Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known.
The role of the Church in the world ultimately comes down to the world and the Christian living individually for Christ.
“When Jesus Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die”.
Bonhoeffer
