Hatch. To mark the book's 25th anniversary, Wake remains significant because it uncovers the very seeds, planted in the early republic, to the rich vibrancy of American Christianity still evident today."

Rowe Professor of Christian History at Duke Divinity School. Devotion to God Lesson Scripture: Daniel 1:5, 8-17; Matthew 6:16-18 By the end of this lesson, we should ? Understand that prayer, fasting and discipline strengthens our faithfulness ? Recognize that the world wants to control us ? Live the love of Christ as a lifestyle and not a show Background: Our background today is very familiar. After warning Judah (south ern kingdom) many times to repent, G&l sent His judgment. The Assyrians who corta/ quered Israel (northern kingdom) an 7z2> BC were no longer in power. It was the Babylonians (Chaldeans) that every nation feared. They invaded Judah three times t (6Q5, 597, and 586 BC). As a result of the fSrsrinvasion, Nebuchadnezzar took treas ures from the palace and the Temple (II Kings 24:13) along with the royal male youths back to Babylon. Those young men were to be indoctrinated into Babylonian culture to serve the king. While the < Captivity was God's punishment, most of their experiences were not characterized by extreme suffering. Lesson: The young male deportees are to be molded into "good" Babylonian citi zens. Daniel and the three Hebrew boys' names are changed initially. Their new names are Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. See Daniel 1:6,7. The others' names are changed as well. Step one is accomplished because this action begins to erase your identity.
