Allow me to recommend this excellent sermon by Brian Schwertley on Daniel 1:
SermonAudio.com - Daniel's Separation from World
Here is a summary:
1. Context of the first chapter of Daniel
2. The role of education in Babylonian Statism
3. Daniel's respect for pagan civil rulers - Christians are not to be anarchists, social change is through regeneration not ungodly revolution
4. Daniel's refusal to compromise - often Reformed people have a lot of knowledge, but lack obedience; Daniel had both
5. How we can avoid sin by pre-meditatively thinking about our actions should a situation arise in the future - we can do this through carefully thinking upon the Scriptures in our daily Bible studies
