This blog is about what we are teaching in the adult Bible class and Sundays at Six at Gregory Drive Alliance Church of Chatham, Ontario. We have a passion for the Word of God as it reveals God. It is our desire that everyone in the class will be students of the Word.

Comical
Daniel 3 is really quite comical. We have Nebuchadnezzar telling everyone over and over again that it is the statue that he has set up. He gathers together an odd combination of musical instruments. He threatens people with death if they don't bow down and when they don't he cannot harm them but in stead the soldiers that do obey are killed. He then threatens the people if they don't worship the Hebrew God they will die but he hasn't been able to harm those that he threatened before. He wants unity but all he does is divide the people. But he doesn't get it. In the end he tells people to worship the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego but he doesn't call Him his God but rather their God.
