DANIEL 6:1-10                                                    Pastor Rick Jackson

 

We are not the first to find ourselves at odds with government policies, government pronouncements, governmental edits. What should we do? Hide? Hibernate? Capitulate? Stick our heads in the sand? No- we do our job. We do our duty. We do right.
