“And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, ‘How long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow Him: but of Baal, then follow him.’ And the people answered him not a word.” (I Kings 18:21)
The Bible says that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. When it came to following the True God or following a false god these people could not make a straight up-and-down decision. There are people today who sing, “I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back,” on Sunday morning and then before the week is over they look and act no different than the rest of the world.
The idolaters on Mount Carmel wanted to have it both ways. They wanted to follow Baal, the false god and the one and only True God. If God cannot have all your heart, He will have none of it.
I have talked to men about turning from sin and to Christ only to hear them say, “I’ll decide sometime.” They fail to realize that postponement is a decision, and a very dangerous one, I might add.
As a result of their indecision on Mount Carmel four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and four hundred false prophets of Israel lost their lives.
What are you waiting on? Why are you halting between the Lord Jesus Christ and the false gods of Satan? Turn to Jesus now with no hesitation.
