Sabbath School
The Sabbath-school affords to parents and children a precious opportunity for the study of God’s Word. But in order to gain that benefit which they should gain in the Sabbath-school, both parents and children should devote time to the study of the lessons, seeking to obtain a thorough knowledge of the facts presented, and also of the spiritual truths which these facts are designed to teach.

Sabbath School Short Points Video
Lesson Outline
A A perfect man. Daniel 6:1-5.
- Darius noticed Daniel’s loyalty, so he thought he’d appoint him ruler over the kingdom.
- That made the governors jealous (the old sin that caused Lucifer’s fall), because they wanted the position that was being offered to Daniel.
- When they investigated Daniel, they found out that he was a good administrator. He was upright, hard-working, incorruptible, trustworthy, honest, faithful and loyal, with no bad habits.
- They decided to use his faithfulness to attack him. He knew that he would stand firm and remain faithful to God’s law before the law of the kingdom.
B A persecuted man. Daniel 6:6-9.
- In order to have a more efficient administration, the king had appointed 120 satraps. One of the risks of that organization was that any of them could try to use that power to plot against the king.
- They suggested that, as a way to ensure the loyalty of all the leaders, all the requests should have to go through the king first during some time.
- They also included the requests to the gods. This was both a gesture to the king’s vanity (he didn’t use to be a representative of the gods) and an attack against Daniel.
C A man of prayer. Daniel 6:10.
- Despite the royal decree, Daniel didn’t try to hide his prayer habits. He just continued praying towards Jerusalem as he had always done (2 Chr. 6:20-40)
- Worship is the main point in the conflict between good and evil. Whom and how will we worship? What will we do when our loyalty to God conflicts with the loyalty to our nation?
- The decision we’ll make depends on our attitude today. Do I pray to God every day? Do I set Sabbath apart to worship God? How’s my daily relationship with Jesus?
D A protected man. Daniel 6:11-23.
- The governors introduced Daniel as a captive foreigner who was disobeying the king’s orders. They intentionally omitted his great qualities.
- Darius spent the day trying to find a way to deliver Daniel from death, but he couldn’t
(John 19:12). - Daniel’s faithfulness impressed the king so much that he exclaimed: “Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.” (v. 16)
- And God sent His angel to protect Daniel.
E A vindicated man. Daniel 6:24-28.
- Daniel had paid for his “crime” according to the decree. Then, Darius turned to the true criminals (jealous, liars and traitors).
- Their quick death contrasted Daniel’s miraculous protection.
- Darius vindicated Daniel and confirmed his position.
- He also vindicated the God of Daniel. This was a symbol of the final vindication, when every knee will bow before the King of kings.

“Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow”
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
“Lift Every Voice and Sing”
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand.
True to our God,
True to our native land.

Buddha Bowls ~ Also known as Nourish Bowls, Macro Bowls, or Grain Bowls
Buddha Bowl is a one dish meal that consists of whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and a tasty sauce or dressing in a bowl. It should be a balanced mix of nutritious and delicious ingredients.
To make a Buddha Bowl you will need something from each group:
- A grain base, such as brown rice, quinoa, barley, whole grain pasta, or a non-grain, such as roasted sweet potatoes.
- A variety of vegetables that are colorful, such as butternut squash, corn, beets, green peas, and greens (spinach, kale, etc).
- Legumes – a selection of any of these legumes, such as lentils, black beans, chickpeas, edamame, etc. This helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
- Something crunchy and flavorful, such as nuts (pecans, walnuts almond slivers), seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, hemp, etc), fresh or dried fruit, crushed tortilla chips, or chopped red onions.
- Avocado slices (optional)
- Drizzle on a sauce. You can create a homemade sauce, pesto, peanut sauce, salad dressing, dip, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Use whatever you have and create your own using your own creativity. The colors, flavors, and taste makes this a wonderful, nutritious, satisfying and delicious meal. Enjoy!
