What a Casting Crowns Song Taught Me About the Church I Almost Gave Up On and how I came from being a staunch unbeliever to a man fully devoted to Jesus.
I enjoyed reading about your personal journey. It's always interesting looking back at times when we were closed off or cynical towards truth.
You're spot on with the overall message of the Bible being about loving the sojourner. As someone who has been living in the Middle East for the past 10 years, this message is very meaningful to me.
Sojourners face many challenges. They have questions, needs, and are often lonely. As God' people, we have a responsibility to also "draw near," break the ice, and help the sojourner where we can.
I believe that Daniel and the others were indeed casterated. Think about it, he tells his army to take noblemen and royal lineage to serve him. What better way in his mind to stop the multiplying of the royal families and thus reduce them from taking back their kingdoms.
