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.

Ephesians #33

Ephesians #33

God says Israel has been unfaithful, but He would love them with an everlasting Love (Joe 2:21-27). Paul urges us to walk as Christ walked (Eph 5:2). The tabernacle and temple are a picture of Christ and His work. The Alter of Incense is a picture of prayers Rev 5:8, Rev 8:3. Christ's sacrifice was a a sweet-smelling aroma. Our prayers are a fragrant aroma to God the Father. Fornication is a picture of unfaithfulness -- a violation of a covenant relationship. Covetousness resides in all of us. We're to not let these things "be named among us as saints" (Eph 5:3). We are heirs of God, we should be imitators of Him. You may be acting the way you did as an unbeliever, but you are no longer that person (1Co 6:7-11). The loss is our opportunity to bring glory to Christ. We're each going to give an account (Rom 14:12-13); the criteria is our own (Mat 7:7). The Kingdom of God is ... righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 12:14-17). We need to be merciful as He has been to us (Luk 6:35-38, Luk 18:10-14). The "Royal Law" is you shall love your neighbor as yourself; we'll be judged but the standard of our volition (Jam 2:8-12), but Jesus gave a higher standard of Love -- His (Joh 13:34, 1Jo 3:16). Judgment is without mercy to those who have shown none (Jam 2:13, 1Ti 1:12-16). Mercy overcomes in the face of judgment.
