Outlast This World | College Retreat

The World wants to secularize Christianity and abandon the Gospel. People want their own version of Jesus rather than Christ Himself. We need to stand firm in truth or we will fall away with every wind and wave of doctrine. In this message, Brody looks at Daniel’s life in exile and how he resolved not to defile himself with the Babylonian empire. They wanted Daniel to become worldly, but Daniel stood firm and remained faithful to God. Even in slavery, God was still in control.

Believer, the world wants the same thing from you. It wants to get to your heart by getting you to love what God hates. The world will promise you things that will appease your flesh. Guard yourself against aiming to be at peace with the world. We are not of this world. When we walk the narrow path, we walk with Jesus.

God is sovereign and always has a plan. We must resolve to live with conviction. Remember that your life here is only a temporary dwelling. The Babylonian Empire didn’t last and neither will this world. Trust in the Lord and endure until the end.
