The Iowa Conference hosted the first planning session of The Daniel Project, designed to organize a group of spiritually motivated young people to reach their generation with the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
The key verses are:
” … but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits [take action]. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many … And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them wait, until the time of the end …” Dan 11:32b–33, Dan 11:35
In the above passage, we see five great undertakings of faithful believers in the end times. To be accurate, this passage is speaking specifically of Jewish believers during the Tribulation Period. However, we have every reason to adapt it to these closing moments of the Church Age.

Living Sacrifice 15

God made promises to Israel -- Rom 11:1-6 asks has God's word failed? Paul was from the tribe of Benjamin: his point was that God hasn't rejected His people because he is an example of the remnant (Rom 11:1-2, Phi 3:3-8). "foreknew" in Rom 11:2 is first used in Acts 2:23; God chose Israel in eternity past because He foreknew His predetermined plan (in the sense of accomplishment of His plan) (Heb 13:8). God knew ahead of time and He sees it as accomplished (Rom 8:29, 1Pe 1:1-2, Rev 13:8, Rev 17:8). Elijah as example in intercession (Rom 11:2-3, 1Ki 19:14); God's reply is that He has kept a remnant for Himself (Rom 11:4-5). The remnant exists for God in His sovereignty will, but those who are in the remnant have responded to God -- "according to His election of grace" (Rom 11:5, Eph 2:8). "If by grace then no more of works" it can't be both (Rom 11:6).

From Series: "Living Sacrifice (1995)"

Romans 12 and specifically Rom 12:1-2 is a pivot point between the doctrinal section and application of the book. This series methodically uses this passage to outline aspects or doctrines of the christian life -- God's provision and our prospect. Our lives can be acceptable to God if we progress on the path He intends. Living Sacrifice presents 12 doctrines: (1) redeeming time; (2) standing (positional truth); (3) self-presentation - availability; (4) approval; (5) service; (6) provision; (7) spiritual warfare; (8) conformity; (9) spiritual advance; (10) renewal; (11) divine guidance; (12) abundant life.
