Daniel 3 -- Trusting God

So I've been a little slow in finishing Hebrews..  and finally got to Daniel.  :)

We just finished up our youth and college revival.  It was great... and I wonder what the next step is.  I want this to be a jumping off point -- a kick-off for the school year -- so that we can all start fresh and on fire for God.  I guess I'm just desperate to see God move in an amazing way... and then I read about these guys - Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego -- all pretty young guys living their lives in faith. They really trust God -- They really stick their necks out for God.

I'm amazed at their faith..  It's like a no compromise type of faith.  It's a 100% God or nothing kind of faith.  But it's not those crazed people (I think) that live their lives in this Christian bubble and have no sense of reality...  It's like this well-integrated kind of faith, where they're active in this world yet completely faithful.  It is possible.  And I guess that is my passion.  I want to see us live a totally integrated faith - where our faith and our living in this world are not separate.  They were completely committed to God.  Whether God chooses to save them or not - their allegiance to God was uncompromised.  Wow!

And in this event, God is glorified and they are saved.  If all Christians were to live their lives this way - how different would the world be?

If I were to live my life this way - how would my life be different?  How can I be a witness that causes unbelievers to respect and give praise to my God?
