How do you respond to the evil world around you? Should a Christian protest evil by demonstrations or with violence?

​

Or let's bring the matter a little closer to home. You go to school tomorrow and associate with young people who cheat in class, use drugs, or engage in immorality. What is your reaction to those young people?

​

Others of you go to work tomorrow. You associate with people who are totally pagan in their mindset. They may call themselves Christians, but their speech or their attitude betrays them, and they are hedonistic or materialistic in mindset. How do you react to those people you work with every day?

​

That is a question I would like for us to consider today as we look at this story, where Moses comes down out of Mount Sinai to the base of the mountain, which is surrounded with sinful people.

​

James Montgomery Boyce has called this, “Moses' Finest Hour.”

​

So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry. 

Exodus 32:6

​

When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. 

Exodus 32:19
