Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up (Daniel 3:15-18).

    I've always love the boldness of these three Hebrew boys, for they looked the king in the face and said our God is able to deliver us from this but even if he does not we will not worship your god's.  Are you bold for Jesus? Have you taken a stand like these three young men?  or as Joshua said as for me and my family we shall serve the Lord God, Oh men of God its times we begin to be bold in our home, its time we tell the enemy he has  place in our homes, no place in our children's lives, that he will not enter our home via the television or the music that our kids listen to. That we will guard our children s eyes  their ears and their hearts, we start with us being the example, by us being bold and standing up for what is right even when the world says we are wrong for doing so.

   Tim Tebow announces to the world with pride that he is a christian and that he is still a virgin, yet the world finds it funny, when half of the NFL players have children out of wedlock  and are in the news media being shown going in and out of court for  child support issues. So the world see's their behavior as being okay but a young man wanting to remain pure for Jesus as being a weirdo or some have called him gay. How sad is this, that laying in a pig pen is considered better than sitting at the right hand side of the king. For we are the children of the king which means we have no business laying in a pig pens aka sin.  Its time oh men of God to be bold and be the example for our children and our wives, for our neighborhood, for our co-workers and other brothers in Christ who might be straddling the fence.
