Slides from day 2 of my teaching on Daniel at Bible & Culture 2015 (www.bibleandculture.org). This session looks at the structure of Daniel and chapter 1.

Four commitments were the foundation of his life: commitment to God, Commitment to reading the Scriptures, Commitment to prayer and commitment to professional excellence. Through visions and angelic messengers God gave Daniel six detailed visions of the future covering the period 200BC until the return of Christ.

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

46. ‘‘It was a remarkable process and one
which challenges all of us. Rather
than avoiding or running from their
second-choice world they pursued it

headed for the centre of the volcano,
the heart of the storm, the vortex of
all their fears…

Babylon was to become skilled and
powerful insiders – not ‘separated’
outsiders. When they chose this
way they rejected pouting, self-pity,
resentment and self-consumption…
48. ‘‘The fact that Babylon was a place of
dislocation, pain and
disappointment did not compel
them to make a negative response to
this pagan world. Being servants of
God in Jerusalem or Babylon alike
demanded living well before him.
