When Peter is talking to the churches in 2 Peter 2 about Persecution, he brings up one interesting name: Lot. We don’t often remember Lot for his goodness, but Peter says that his “righteous soul was vexed” by the immorality that was around him daily. Daniel was in the same boat. Exiled in Babylon after the destruction of Judah, Daniel lived decades in a land that was pagan in every sense of the word: religiously, culturally, emotionally, and physically. Many of us know how those two men felt. How do we survive in a pagan world that is hostile to all things Christ? The same way they did.

CloseNoah is a shining light in the Old Testament, until that little "incident" after the flood involving some alcohol and his three sons. One son humiliated him, while the other two "walked backwards towards sin," not wanting any part in shaming their father any further. When we're dealing with someone that is lost in their own sin, we also have to tread lightly. Handle it in love (but handle it!) and help them work through it as best we can.
