Are You Limping Between Two Opinions? Making Your Mount Carmel Choice

 Introduction There comes a moment in every believer’s life where "exposure" is no longer enough. We can identify the compromise in our lives, we can weep over our divided loyalties, and we can name the idols we’ve allowed to sit at the table with Jesus—but eventually, a decision must be made.

Revelation without response doesn’t heal; it hardens.

In my latest sermon, "Your Mount Carmel Choice," we dive deep into 1 Kings 18 and Matthew 6 to confront the dangerous "mixture" that has crept into the modern church.

1. Exposure Has an Expiration Date

In 1 Kings 18:21, Elijah didn't ask for a theological debate. He asked the people, "How long are you going to struggle with the two choices?" The word "struggle" or "limp" in the original text suggests a spiritual paralysis. Many of us aren't rejecting God; we are simply keeping Him incomplete. we want the security of the Temple and the convenience of the world. But God will not perform for the undecided. Indecision is not neutrality—it is a decision to serve the enemy.

2. The Altar is Not a Buffet

Jesus made it clear in Matthew 6:24: "No one can serve two masters." An altar is a place where devotion is decided, and that place was never meant to be shared. We cannot bring a "Jesus Plus" gospel into His house.

• Jesus plus self-love.

• Jesus plus political identity.

• Jesus plus comfort.

When we add anything to the Gospel, we don't make it better; we water it down. If Jesus is not Lord over everything, He is not Lord at all—He is just a preference.

3. Fire Falls on the Clean Cut

Before Elijah called for fire, he did something crucial: He repaired the altar. Restoration always comes before manifestation. Alignment comes before power. God does not respond to religious activity; He responds to order. The fire of God will not fall on a mixture of idols and truth. It falls where the altar has been rebuilt according to His design—nothing added, nothing shared, and nothing competing.

Conclusion: Pick Up the Knife

The time for weeping at Bochim is over. It is time to pick up the "Knife of Gilgal" and cut away what does not belong to Jesus. You are not confused; you are deciding. You cannot edit your faith to make it palatable and still expect it to remain powerful.

I invite you to watch this message and ask yourself the hard question: Who owns your altar?
