Be Bold & Be Like DanielDaniel 6:10 “Although Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he continued to go to his house, which had windows in its upper room open toward Jerusalem, and to get down on his knees three times a day to pray to his God and praise him, just as he had done previously.”This verse may not make much sense if you don't know the context. Once you do, you can see Daniel's bravery in continuing to pray. This situation boils down to greed and envy, which is the cause of so many bad decisions. Daniel 6:1-5 says, “ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, stationed throughout the whole kingdom, and over them three presidents, including Daniel; to these, the satraps gave account, so that the king might suffer no loss.  Soon Daniel distinguished himself above all the other presidents and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king planned to appoint him over the whole kingdom.  So the presidents and the satraps tried to find grounds for complaint against Daniel in connection with the kingdom. But they could find no grounds for complaint or any corruption because he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption could be found in him. The men said, “We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.”Daniel was a good man. He loved God and was faithful to God. He was also faithful to the king. God was blessing Daniel, and so Daniel was excelling at his job, and the king noticed it. He was about to give Daniel a promotion and put him in charge of the whole kingdom. However, the others were jealous, and they wanted to discredit Daniel. However, they couldn't find anything that he was doing wrong. Has this ever happened to you in your life? Have you ever had people who were jealous of you or what you have tried to discredit you? It is not a very good feeling. I remember hearing a story once of a woman who my dad worked with. She made an advancement towards my dad, but he was happily married with several kids, and he said he was not interested. She was upset and felt rejected, so she made up lies about my dad to the boss. Luckily, God was looking out for him, and the truth came out.The people who wanted to get Daniel in trouble went to the king and convinced him to sign something saying that whoever prays to anyone, divine or human, for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into a den of lions. They knew Daniel was faithful to his God and that he would continue to pray, even when told not to. The king did not know this. He probably wasn't even thinking of Daniel when he signed this into law. Once he found out, he was so upset and tried to rescue Daniel, but it was a law he could not revoke.Daniel was thrown into the lion's den, and the king was so upset he fasted that night, hoping that Daniel's God would save him from the lions. And, in case you don't know the end of the story, God did! Let me read it to you in Daniel 6:19-23. “Then, at break of day, the king got up and hurried to the den of lions. When he came near the den where Daniel was, he cried out anxiously to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God whom you faithfully serve been able to deliver you from the lions?” Daniel then said to the king, “O king, live forever!  My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no wrong.”  Then, the king was exceedingly glad and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him because he had trusted in his God.”Can you imagine what a witness Daniel is, not only for the king but for all those in the kingdom, as well as all those who hear the story later? Can you imagine the bravery Daniel must have had? He knew if he prayed to God during those 30 days, he would be thrown in the Lion's Den. Or, at least, he knew it was a possibility, and yet he did it anyway. I wonder if I would have done the same. I wonder if I would have been brave enough or if I would have convinced myself that praying to the Lord in secret was ok. That God would understand because he wouldn't want me to die, either. And this might be true. I am sure God would understand. And yet, Daniel didn't pray in secret. He did pull down the curtains. He could have gone into his bedroom to pray or to any other room that might not have had windows. However, he didn't. He continued his prayer routine as though nothing had changed.When I think of how brave Daniel was, I wonder if I would have been that brave. We live in a society right now where being Christian is not popular. When many people talk about Christians, especially Catholics, they say we are intolerant, unloving, judgmental, and hypocrites. It is sad that this is how Christians are portrayed. Sometimes, it is easier not to stand up for what we believe because we know it will cause conflict. We know others may judge us and say rude things to us. Fortunately, in the country I live in, we will not be put in jail for what we believe, but this is not the same for other countries.I remember when we lived in England, there was a historic home near us, and we took the kids there one time to explore it. We learned that back in the day, it was illegal to be Catholic. The only acceptable religion was that of the king, the Church of England. The house that we were exploring was owned by Catholics. Priests used to do house calls to provide the sacraments to the Catholics who wanted them. However, if they were caught they would be in serious trouble. According to the internet, During the English Reformation, when Catholicism was outlawed in England, Catholic priests who were caught faced severe penalties, including execution by hanging, drawing, and quartering, or imprisonment. The house that we went to visit had a priest's hiding space. It was this hole in the wall where the priest could hide if the British police decided to do a raid. It was a tiny space, but it was a safe space. Can you imagine continuing to attend mass if it meant you might be executed by hanging, drawing, and quartering or put in prison? I know it seems like many of our rights are in jeopardy, even in the United States. There is a lot going on right now, and some of it can seem scary and overwhelming. Life can feel overwhelming if we are constantly watching the news and focusing on the bad things.  However, we need to do what Daniel did and keep our focus on the Lord and what He wants us to do.God is the one who can protect us. He can save us from a lion's den, and he can also save us from a fiery furnace. If we are doing what the Lord wants us to do, He will protect us. If you are particularly scared about what is happening in this country, I want you to turn your gaze to Jesus. If you hear unsettling things in the news, bring them to the Lord. Ask Him to explain what is going on right now. Ask Him for peace of mind. Ask Him to see the situation through His eyes and with His heart for all who are involved.God is our savior. End of story. There is no coma, there is no but, God is it. He is all we need. However, when we take our eyes off Him. When we look to the world for our answers, we will always be more scared and more confused. We can look to the Lord for our answers, and sometimes, we don't have to know how it will all turn out or what we are supposed to learn from this situation. Sometimes, just knowing God is in control of it is enough.Can we be brave like Daniel? Can we pray even though others may not like it? Can we be different than everyone else? Can we show love, even when others can't? Can we give mercy and forgiveness even to those who haven't earned it and don't deserve it? Can we love God in this crazy world where everyone seems to be telling us not to? Can we look at the terrible things happening in the world and still be faithful to God? Can we still trust that God has a plan, even when we can't see it? Daniel was willing to risk being thrown in a lion's den. What are we willing to risk to follow the Lord?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless everyone listening to this podcast. Lord, we want to follow you no matter what. Please help us. Help us not to be afraid. Help us stand up for our beliefs, no matter the consequences. Help protect us from anyone who wishes to hurt us just because we love you. Help us not shy away from you because of fear. Help us to love you more and more with each passing day. Help us to pass that love on to others. Lord, fill us with the holy boldness you gave the apostles. We love you Lord and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb delves into the tumultuous and nuanced religious policies of Henry VIII's reign. She examines how Henry VIII utilised religion to justify his policies and actions during the English Reformation, such as his assertion of royal supremacy, his commissioning of tapestries depicting himself as Old Testament kings, and his justification for the dissolution of monasteries.With insights from leading historians, such as Professor George W. Bernard and Dr. Lucy Wooding, Suzannah explores Henry's nuanced theological positions, his Christmas speech of 1545 lamenting religious divisions and his final Will, which sought to ensure prayers for his soul, reflecting his complex religious beliefs.More on the death of Henry VIII >More on the Dissolution of the Monasteries >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

The English Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries were major milestones in 16th-century England, shaking the very foundations of Tudor religious belief. But while the nation moved back and forth between Catholicism and Protestantism, how much did ordinary people continue to rely on age-old customs and folklore? In this fourth episode of our series Tudor England: the big questions, Emily Briffett and Tracy Borman unpick the complex web of Tudor beliefs – from the devout to the superstitious – and explore how religious upheaval rocked the nation.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“…wisdom is the spring of joy, for the joy breaks out whenever and wherever the Creator's wisdom is exercised.”~Derek Kidner (1913-2008), British Old Testament scholar “You are happy when God blesses you, but not as happy as God is.”~C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher “People don't get depressed when they face threats collectively; they get depressed when they feel isolated, lonely, or useless.”~Jonathan Haidt in The Anxious Generation “To me there is in happiness an element of self-forgetfulness. You lose yourself in something outside yourself when you are happy; just as when you are desperately miserable you are intensely conscious of yourself, are a solid little lump of ego weighing a ton.”~Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), English chemist, philosopher, and educator “There cannot be done so great an injury and displeasure to almighty God our Father, as to tread underfoot Christ, His only-begotten and well-beloved Son. All other sins in the world, gathered together in one, be not so heinous and detestable in the sight of God. And no wonder, for in Christ crucified, God doth show Himself most noble and glorious, even an almighty God, and most loving Father, in His only dear and chosen blessed Son. And therefore I count myself one of the most wicked and miserable sinners, because I have been so much contrary to Christ my Savior…. “But, now, what maketh me so bold and hardy, to presume to come to the Lord with such audacity and boldness, being so great a sinner? Truly, nothing but His own Word: for He saith, ‘Come to me all ye that labor, and are burdened, and I shall refresh you.' What gentle, merciful, and comfortable words are these, to all sinners! What a most gracious, comfortable, and gentle saying was this, with such pleasant and sweet words to allure His enemies to come unto Him! Is there any worldly prince or magistrate that would show such clemency and mercy to their disobedient and rebellious subjects…? I suppose they would not with such words allure them…. But even as Christ is Prince of Princes and Lord of Lords, so His charity and mercy surmounteth all others.”~Katharine Parr, the final wife of Henry VIII, in “Lamentations of a Sinner” “Only the unconditional love of God for sinners will inspire sinners to love God more than their sin.”~Dr. John Ashley Null, English Reformation scholarSERMON PASSAGEProverbs 8 (ESV)1 Does not wisdom call?  Does not understanding raise her voice?2 On the heights beside the way,  at the crossroads she takes her stand;3 beside the gates in front of the town,  at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: 4  “To you, O men, I call,  and my cry is to the children of man….22 “The Lord possessed me  at the beginning of his work,  the first of his acts of old.23 Ages ago I was set up,  at the first, before the beginning of the earth.24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,  when there were no springs abounding with water.25 Before the mountains had been shaped,  before the hills, I was brought forth,26 before he had made the earth with its fields,  or the first of the dust of the world.27 When he established the heavens, I was there;  when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,28 when he made firm the skies above,  when he established the fountains of the deep,29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,  so that the waters might not transgress his command,  when he marked out the foundations of the earth,30 then I was beside him, like a master workman,and I was daily his delight,  rejoicing before him always,31 rejoicing in his inhabited world  and delighting in the children of man.32  “And now, O sons, listen to me:   blessed are those who keep my ways.33 Hear instruction and be wise,   and do not neglect it.34 Blessed is the one who listens to me,   watching daily at my gates,   waiting beside my doors.35 For whoever finds me finds life   and obtains favor from the Lord,36 but he who fails to find me injures himself;   all who hate me love death.” John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Send us a textProbably nowhere else was the Reformation ushered in for a more bizarre reason than in England! King Henry VIII, a staunch Catholic, was refused an annulment by the Pope for his first marriage. With the Reformation under way, King Henry broke from the Catholic church, established the Church of England, made himself head of it, and granted his own annulment. What ensued after was court intrigue, deception, mass murder, and finally compromise as the church in England tried to establish where it would stand amongst the protestant and catholic church.Thanks for tuning in!
