The speaker encourages listeners to be like Daniel and stand firm in their beliefs, even if it means being unpopular or making sacrifices.

The speaker discusses how Daniel is a model for Christians today, as we live in a culture that is contrary to the values of the Kingdom of God. To exercise integrity like Daniel, we must make a prior determination to honor God and stay pure, know the Word of God, trust in the faithfulness of God, and associate with others who believe like us. We must take risks and put God to the test, and seek affirmation and encouragement from a spiritual community. The speaker encourages listeners to make a resolution to live at a level of excellence and firmness in honoring the Lord.


Daniel 1:8 says: “And Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the King's portion of the food nor with the wine that he drank and therefore asked the chief eunuchs that he not be forced to defile himself.

And God put Daniel in favor and in good will with the chief of the eunuchs. And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king who appointed your food and drink, for when he sees your face paler than that of the boys who are like you, you will condemn my head to the king." ”
