1112B: Between Two Opinions
This was a big moment for our friend, Elijah. God has taken him along an indirect route to prepare him for this moment. There was a confrontation between Ahab and Elijah. The question was, "If the Lord is God, then follow Him. If He is not, then Satan is, so follow him." Someone is in charge of the spirit world that dominates this universe, and it has to be either Satan or God. We cannot claim to be Christians and then refuse to take our place on the witness stand of eternity and testify to a skeptical world that God is. We cannot straddle the fence. The living legend of Elijah is speaking to us today, calling us to renew our first love; calling us to return to the wonder and excitement and commitment that so characterized our walk with Christ when we first met him.
