Elijah on Mount Carmel: Lesson Four

You can't stand in the middle.

Elijah asked the people how long they would halt between two opinions. They didn't answer him a word.

1 Kings 18:21 (KJV): 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. And the people answered him not a word.

Jesus said the same thing. No man can serve two masters.

Matthew 6:24 (KJV): No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Every one of us has to choose. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Joshua 24:15 (KJV): And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
