    3 Ways to Have Radical Faith: Part Three

    April 19, 2020 /

    Daniel and his friends display a power that is hard to fathom. Page after page shows them mastering hopeless situations through their radical faith in the Living God. These stories are full of such hope and victory that we can be tempted to say that they are too good to…

    “How can the god also be the water?” The question had eked its way out of my concentration as I strove to copy the next line of When on High. I sat cross-legged, just one student among seven straight rows of seven concentrating and copying in the afternoon light. With…

    “What was your take on that group?” I asked as I glanced at Azariah’s tablet. “1,320—you?” he shot back. “Yes! I think I am finally getting a handle on Babylonian computation.” We stood in the spring sunlight recording groups of livestock being led into the precinct of Nebo, the god…

    Azariah gave a heavy sigh as he sat beside me, staring at his lentils and trying to start his meal with a thankful attitude. I could relate with his predicament. Undoubtedly, our God had worked mightily on our behalf when we made our request known ten months ago. The steward…

    “You are those who justify yourself before God,” Christ told religious men, “but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God” (Lk. 16:14–15).
