Quotes to Consider:
Stuart Olyott on Daniel 3: "The main thing in the chapter is
that three young believers are tempted to do wrong, and refuse. They
are prepared to be out of step with everybody else, even if it means
a terrible death. ‘Compromise’ is not a word in their vocabulary.
Wrong is wrong, and they will not do it, however great is the peril.
They will not tolerate sin, or even hold a dialogue with it. It is
to this point that we should give our attention, for it teaches us
once more how a testimony to God is kept alive in a pagan world. If
we are to be true to God in a hostile environment, we ourselves must
go the way of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego" (Dare to Stand
Alone, p. 38).
C. H. Spurgeon: "Your duty is to do the right: consequences are
with God ... It is yours and mine to do the right though the heavens
fall, and follow the command of Christ whatever the consequences may
be ... O sirs, what have we to do with consequences? Let the heavens
fall, but let the good man be obedient to his Master, and loyal to
his truth. O man of God, be just and fear not! The consequences are
with God, and not with thee."
