Daniel Resolved...

This morning I read some of Daniel. Daniel resolved to not defile himself. I need to resolve more. Resolve to read, write and pray more. Resolve to make every moment count. Resolve to draw closer to God. Resolve to be a spiritual leader. Daniel (God is my judge) was renamed to reduce his contact with God - Belteshazzar (Bel protect his life). As was Hananiah (The Lord shows grace), Mishael (who is like God?) and Azariah (The Lord helps). Is there a modern day equivalent that I can apply? Are we in this day and age being renamed to exclude Christ? Are we called Christian? Is our identity eroded? Can I marry these two thoughts? Is there a way to resolve not to have my Christian identity eroded away by others (or by myself?)
