Episode The Dream of the Kingdom
After we become a Christian, there is a question that we inevitably ask ourselves: how do we live as a believer in an unbelieving world? Is it really possible to hold onto faith and integrity in a society that doesn’t operate on those values?
Oftentimes we’re tempted to assimilate into our culture by leaving the biblical ethic behind, or to simply withdraw from culture altogether. But Daniel shows us that God has a third option for us: to seek the peace, prosperity, and restoration of our cities, all while maintaining the distinctiveness of our faith.
Let’s look at 1) how God has a plan for us to live in our cultures without assimilating or separating, 2) how we can keep God’s glory as our true motivation, and 3) how this work contributes to the coming Kingdom of God.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 30, 2000. Series: Daniel: Living by Faith in a Secular World. Scripture: Daniel 2:24-35, 44-46.
