The People Said Nothing

"How long will you waiver between two opinions?If the Lord id God, follow himBut if Baal is god, follow him....but the people said nothing."Today we look at a Bible story that is one of my favorites from the Old Testament.Sure David and Goliath is good and Jonah is incredible, but this story tells us something about how to live amongst a culture that doesn't respect or honor God. More than that, the culture surrounding Elijah was hostile and full of persecution. More subtly though, as we will see, this culture had let time wear down the very things that kept them focused on God.I believe we can learn a lot from this story, if we have ears to hear.I'm Matt Odegaard, Welcome to Church Public.Thanks for listening!At Church Public we create compelling content to equip you to follow Jesus and engage in the public square.Find Me:Website: churchpublic.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChurchPublic/Twitter: https://twitter.com/churchpublicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/churchpublic/keywords:keepthefaith, church public, churchpublic, church public podcast, church, public, faith, hope, love, Jesus, culture, spiritual, religious, faithandculture, podcast, philosophy, speaker, blogger, christianity, truth, lutheran, theological, seminary, youtube, values, chicago, graduation, new life, living waters, cornerstone, non denominational, progressive, churches, open, minded, small, ltsc, Bible, word, news, politics, Support the show
