How can we be faithful to our God in a world that increasingly rejects him? How should God’s people engage the world? Is living by faith even worth the cost? What is the source of our courage in the face of increasing conflict? These are the ever-growing questions of our present day as followers of Jesus Christ. But these were also the questions of God’s people in the book of Daniel. The message of the life of Daniel is that our sovereign God overrules evil and strengthens his people to overcome faithfully. Our study of the life of Daniel will deliver confidence and strength to each of us as we seek to bring God’s grace and peace to the community around us.

To “spin” something is more than “to turn or whirl around an object quickly” (Websters). It’s a strategy for changing information.For example, a “spin room” is an area where political information is directed towards a desired outcome. The “spin room” is where journalists can speak with politicians and/or their representatives after a debate. The name refers to the fact that the participants will attempt to "spin" or influence the information from the debate to benefit their own cause.Though this is a political tactic, it’s actually something people have done to the Scriptures for hundreds of years. A solitary or well-known Bible verse is read and “spun” in a direction to fit what the reader would like it to say or mean. Instead of seeing it in light of why it’s said in scripture, we “spin” it towards a direction that fits us best.In this series, our heart is not only to examine some of those familiar passages but also to equip ourselves to understand the Scriptures when we read them. The goal isn’t to “spin” the Scripture towards our heart but to “spin” our hearts towards Scripture.
