We find ourselves in a world that is alien to us and to God's way of life. In many ways, we are in Babylon. The Babylonian culture is all around us. We are immersed in this belief system. We are held captive and are influenced by it. Jesus said that we are to be in the world but not of the world, wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Based on the book of Daniel, this message begins a series examining how we should engage with the world and respond to this newest form of the Babylonian empire.
