Divine Smackdown!

1 Kings 18:21-24  Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."  But the people said nothing.  Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one of the Lord 's prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers by fire — he is God."

Some of God’s Prophets  Elijah, Elisha  Joel, Amos, Hosea  Isaiah, Micah, Zephaniah  Jeremiah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Obadiah  Daniel, Ezekiel

Spiritual Adultery  Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites, because the Lord has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying. Hosea 4:1-3

Hear the Word of the Lord
