by Tyler Kraft | 16 September 2025 | In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s horrific assassination, something potentially problematic emerged across Seventh-day Adventist social media feeds. I am not referring to the debates as to his sainthood or villainy, though there have been plenty of those. What I found concerning were the numerous posts celebrating […] Source: https://atoday.org/the-problematic-allure-of-popular-validation/

Daily Lesson for Wednesday 17th of September 2025
Moses had to take with him two stone tablets like the first ones, which he had broken (Exodus 32:19). He was going to meet with the Lord on Mount Sinai for the seventh time. His previous climbs are mentioned in the following texts: (1) Exodus 19:3,7; (2) Exodus 19:8,14; (3) Exodus 19:20,25; (4) Exodus 20:21, Exodus 24:3; (5) Exodus 24:9,12-18; Exodus 32:15; (6) Exodus 32:30-31. Moses started his climb early in the morning.

Moses was now prepared for this glorious insight into God’s character. The beauty of God’s character is best explained in this stunning self-revelation of Himself. It is the most important description of who God is; it is the golden thread woven throughout the Bible (Numbers 14:18, Nehemiah 9:17, Psalms 103:8, Joel 2:13, Jonah 4:2). The Lord’s proclamation here is the John 3:16 of the Old Testament. In crucial places, biblical authors apply, repeat, or expand on this self-proclamation of the living God because God’s character must be correctly understood.
When Moses received the exceptional, unprecedented, and unparalleled explanation of God’s name, he bowed down and worshiped the Lord. When we get glimpses of God’s love, grace, mercy, compassion, goodness, faithfulness, forgiveness, holiness, and justice, we also are attracted to Him. It is when we see and admire His exceptional qualities that we start to love Him, a love that leads to the desire to serve and obey Him. Because He loves us, we love Him back (1 John 4:19).
In this self-revelation, God assures Moses that He will perform marvelous deeds for His people and lead them into the Promised Land. He renews the covenant with them, promising that other nations will see His majesty and awesome work. “ ‘Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you’ ” (Exodus 34:10, NKJV).
However, the Israelites needed to obey God and follow ten clear stipulations in order to secure their prosperity. Then Moses was asked by God to write the content of that covenant, which had already been broken (Exodus 34:27-28).
