Character Counts

Daniel had given a lifetime of service to the various kings of Babylon. Now his enemies sought to destroy him by turning his faith against him. Does God still protect those who seek to honor Him in our day? What would have changed if the outcome had been different? (Daniel 6:1-23)

The King of the Beasts

The Asiatic lion was once common throughout the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean. Due to its unmatched power and majesty, the lion was a popular subject of artistic and literary expression. These numerous art works attest to the great numbers and influential presence of the "king of the beasts." Read more about this noble creature and its influence on the ancients in this week's Illustrated Bible Life article, "The King of the Beasts."
