Two Sides of the Same Coin
Sermonette by Jarod RitenbaughEven though different situations might require various approaches to bringing God's light to the world, the one thing that remains a foundational principle is consistent righteous conduct. Reviewing the examples of Daniel and Esther living in the worldly societies in Ancient Persia, we see how they dealt with the cultures around them. Esther allowed herself to be fully integrated into that society but always kept the teachings that she learned close to her. Daniel openly attracted attention with his faith as he stood firm, even when it caused danger by the jealousy aroused by succeeding at his job and bringing glory to God's way. We should be cautious, though, to not let the ways of integrating into society cause a gulf between how we interact with God and His church and the way we interact with the world and always shine God's light as we go about our daily lives.
