June 22 Who Will You Serve? 1 Kings 18:21
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “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.” (1 Kings 18:21)
You cannot ride two horses at the same time! Can we have one foot in the church and one foot in the world, and expect to survive successfully? Remember the old statement of, “having your cake and eating it?” Friends, this attitude and reality is akin to straddling a fence! God’s word, in Revelation 3:15-16, tells us exactly how God feels about “fence straddling!” “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Satan is active and he is presenting many “shiny” distractions! Sadly, we are pursuing false gods of money, position, power, materialism, and pleasure, while paying “lip Service” to Almighty God! IT IS TIME TO MAKE A DECISION!! It is time to come down off the fence and decide as to whom you will serve! THIS IS NOT A GAME, and YOUR ETERNAL FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
