There comes a point in everyone’s life when they must answer the question “What will I do with Jesus Christ?”
Elijah, up on Mount Carmel, gathered all the false prophets of Baal together along with all of Israel and said in 1 Kings 18:21, “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him...”
They were undecided and they needed to make a decision. The heathen there needed to decide between accepting the true God or rejecting the true God. But interestingly, the heathen were not the only people to whom Elijah was speaking. Verse 19 says that all of Israel was gathered there as well.
See, the question was to Israel, too. They were just as guilty at times of mixing worship of idols with worship to the true God and Elijah was saying to them, “How long are you going to ride the fence? It is time, now, to stop this nonsense and make a choice. Either follow the true God or go follow Baal, but you can’t follow both!”
Sadly, we see the very same thing, today. How many professing Christians do you know who go Monday through Saturday basically worshipping some idol in their life; something that is more important to them than God is. Then on Sunday (if they even bother to show up at all) they come to church to worship Jesus Christ.
The question to them is the same, “How long halt ye between two opinions?” Decide, today, to follow the LORD with all your heart, soul and mind.
