AI OVERVIEW: Decide your basis for decisions on God’s Word rather than personal preference, choosing a principle—moral rules that guide conduct—over feelings or convenience. Daniel and his companions in Babylon illustrate staying true to God despite pressure to conform, including changing their names and worldview, and choosing allegiance to God over the surrounding culture. A principle is a fixed roadway; a preference is what you want today, which can lead away from convictions and into compromise. Living by principle means serving a purpose greater than self, knowing non-negotiables (such as sexual boundaries), expecting conflict, and trusting God with the consequences, confident in His sovereignty.
