A modern day lions' den

In our Bible studies we've been looking at the problems faithful believers had with intolerant governments (Daniel 3 & 6).
Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego were told they had to worship the 90' statue that Nebuchadnezzar had set up or be thrown in a super-heated furnace; and Daniel was told it was illegal to pray to anyone other than Darius, the king.
Of course they all drew lines in the sand and refused to obey the government, preferring instead to remain loyal to God, and trusting him to deliver them - or not:

"O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."    Daniel 3:16-18

In view of our government's intolerance of Christian morals, and its insistence that we bow the knee & obey it's alternative (im)moral laws, we need to know how we will remain faithful when we have to draw a line in the sand.
And the answers are remarkably simple: Paul says that faced with persecution we should, 'Remember Jesus, raised from the dead' (2 Tim 2:8); Hebrews says, 'Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.' (Heb 12:1-3). And how do we do this? Well, it must be through daily meditation on God's word. It's there that we meet Jesus and hear God speak by his Spirit.

But when only 5 people turn up to study God's word, it begs the questions, 'Who will remain faithful? Who will remember - or forget - Jesus? Who will allow their eyes to rest on something other than Jesus?'
