The world has always been far from God and even hostile toward Him. In today’s culture the distinction between the righteousness of God and the ways of the world seems increasingly more pronounced. Consequently, those who choose to follow Christ stand out. Christians need not fear standing out, but we can embrace it as an opportunity to shine the light of Christ to those around us. The Old Testament prophet Daniel shows us by his own example how we can stand strong and unashamed.
