Elijah vs. 450 Prophets: Two Opinions

As the people of God were lured in by the false prophets of Baal, Elijah the prophet proposed a challenge. They would build two altars and ask the true God to answer by fire. God’s people hesitated between two opinions as many do, but we are called to make a clear decision. As the false prophets shouted, leaped and bled around the altar of Baal, Elijah waited his turn. When Baal did not answer, Elijah repaired the altar of The Lord. Maybe some of us need to do the same.
