- [Conviction](https://www.beroean.com/articles/conviction) - A key lesson to learn from this is that we should follow Daniel’s example of humility. This means being acutely perceptive about how God is dealing with someone rather than taking it upon ourselves to intervene.

- [Beroean Defends](https://www.beroean.com/topics/series-of-beroean/beroean-defends) - Beroean Defends is a new type of Beroean article, where we plan to introduce some of the intellectual challenges laid against the Christian faith. In it, we’ll be attempting to explain both the motivation someone may have for asking the question, and a short introduction to the way Christians can answer them. The articles can only begin to scratch the surface of these issues, so it’s not an attempt to belittle the issue by reducing it to something overly simple, but an attempt to tackle a bite-sized part of the issue to give you a foothold in the debate if you’ve never considered the issue before. We realise that this sort of content isn’t for everyone, but we hope that you will find it useful to occasionally consider this different kind of question when studying your Bible.
