dragon lore
Posted in Ellen | No Comments »Ellen: There’s a dragon tale in a bible story. That, I thought, might draw your attention toward a little Sunday school lesson this morning.
Who is the true God? What is worthy of worship? These questions Daniel attacks in Babylon.

There was a great dragon which the Babylonians worshiped.
“Look!” said the king to Daniel, “you cannot deny that this is a living god, so adore it.”
But Daniel answered, “I adore the Lord, my God, for he is the living God.
Give me permission, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or club.” “I give you permission,” the king said.
Then Daniel took some pitch, fat, and hair; these he boiled together and made into cakes. He put them into the mouth of the dragon, and when the dragon ate them, he burst asunder. “This,” he said, “is what you worshiped.”
