📣 Are you on the Lord’s side? 🤔
After the golden calf, Israel stood exposed—literally and spiritually. But in the midst of rebellion, God issued a call: take a stand, or stay in sin. What does it truly mean to be on the Lord’s side today?
In this sobering passage from Exodus 32:25–29, we’re confronted with the uncomfortable reality of sin’s aftermath—how it spreads, how it exposes, and how it demands a response. Yet even in the chaos, a glimmer of mercy remains: God still invites His people to return—if they will take a stand for Him. This isn’t just a story of judgment—it’s a mirror. What idols have we tolerated? Where have we stayed silent when we should have stood firm? As we open God’s Word, we’re challenged to put to death the idols in our own lives—not with a literal sword, but the one we hold in our hands.
