Bill Johnson - Reformation Through Loyalty

[youtube http://youtube.com/w/?v=y7OFTHhpqfY&feature=youtube_gdata_player]

Bill uses Daniel as an example of how we can bring about transformation in a corrupted kingdom, how we are called to be light on a hill, leaven in a lump of dough, and salt that preserves the world we are in. Bill talks about Daniel's radical loyalty and it produced a radical redemption in Nebuchadnezzar's life.

At the heart of it, it's about not holding people's sins against them (2 Cor 5:18-19), it's about loving anyone that crosses our path, meaning, we want nothing other than to serve and benefit them, because it's kindness that draws repentance (Rom 2:4)
