Security
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young contrasts the sinfulness of sin—being dead in the "graveyard" of the world, the devil, and the flesh—with the greatness of God's grace, teaching that salvation is by grace, through faith, for good works, and that true Christianity is not "do" or "don't" but "done.
Resolved
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young closes the series with Daniel's resolve not to defile himself in Babylon, teaching that self-aware believers decide in advance how they will live—making the decision before the dilemma—so that, like Daniel, they can stand for God in a pagan culture and be positioned for His blessing.
Decisions, Decisions
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young contrasts the self-aware Daniel with the easily manipulated King Darius, teaching from the account of the lions' den that good decisions come from listening to God and surrounding ourselves with people of integrity—the "Daniels"—rather than the jealous voices that lead us astray.
The Writing On The Wall
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young uses King Belshazzar—who defied God and saw his doom written on the wall—to warn that self-unawareness moves from delusion to disrespect to destruction, and to call listeners to heed their conscience, learn from history, and turn to God while there is still time.
Self-Unaware
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young opens the series by teaching that true self-awareness begins with knowing the God who knows us better than we know ourselves, using King Nebuchadnezzar's pride, downfall, and eventual humbling to show that self-worship leads to isolation and insanity—while surrender to God's sovereignty restores us.
