Elijah’s appeal to the undecided
“How long halt ye between two opinions?
If the Lord be God, follow him: if Baal, then follow him.”
1 Kings 18:21
Suggested Further Reading:
John 13:12-19
I insist that it is your bounden duty,
if you believe in God,
simply because he is God,
to serve him and obey him.
I do not tell you it is for your advantage—it may be,
I believe it is—but that I put aside from the question;
I demand of you that you follow God,
if you believe him to be God.
If you do not think he is God;
if you really think that the devil is God,
then follow him; his pretended godhead shall be your plea,
and you shall be consistent;
but if God be God,
if he made you, I demand that you serve him;
if it is he who puts the breath into your nostrils,
I demand that you obey him.
If God be really worthy of worship,
and you really think so,
I demand that you either follow him,
or else deny that he is God at all.
Now, professor,
if thou sayest that Christ’s gospel is the only gospel,
if thou believest in the divinity of the gospel,
and puttest thy trust in Christ,
I demand of thee to follow out the gospel,
not merely because it will be to thy advantage,
but because the gospel is divine.
If thou makest a profession of being a child of God,
if thou art a believer,
and thinkest and believest religion is the best,
the service of God most desirable,
I do not come to plead with thee because of any advantage thou wouldst get by being holy;
it is on this ground that I put it,
that the Lord is God;
and if he be God,
it is thy business to serve him.
If his gospel be true, and thou believest it to be true,
it is thy duty to carry it out.
For meditation:
Four things God will not accept—
hypocrisy (Luke 6:46),
half-heartedness (Luke 9:59-62),
double-mindedness (James 1:6-8)
and lukewarmness (Revelation 3:15,16).
Sermon no. 134

If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ,
you can be accepted in to his kingdom.
I invite you to let him to make of you what
He always wanted.
"PRAYER"
Marvelous God Almighty,
I come to you in the precious name of Jesus,
who died for me to make me free of sin,
I come to you in the precious name of Jesus,
who died for me to make me free of sin,
I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free.
I confess that He is the son of God.
I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand your Holy Word full of promises of eternal value, not only to live on this earth, but to be expectant of my life in heaven.
In the precious name of Jesus I ask.
Amen..

“The true minister of Christ knows that the true value of a sermon must lie,
not in its fashion and manner,
but in the truth which it contains.”
