The three young Jewish men, taken from Judah to Babylon, were faced with a serious situation. They were required by the king to bow to his idol or lose their lives. How would we answer? On a Bible Study format Sabbath service, pastor Philip Aust posed this question and combined it with Peter's admonition in 1 Pet 3:14-15. After discussing the need for God's people to be prepared to handle a situation like this, he broke the assembled congregation into groups whose responsibility was to prepare themselves to answer specific, prepared doctrinal questions.
