C. The halting multitude (between two opinions, undecided...)
D. Times have changed, but still three groups.
1. Servants of God.
2. Servants of Sin.
3. Halting multitude.
"How long halt ye between two opinions?" The man who turns himself completely to sin & pollution of his own heart is far less damaging than the man who halts between two to the community.

2. Call on sin to comfort & aid.
C. Anger - willfulness of their folly.
1. God had revealed Himself amply to these people.
2. They knew God but turned to Baal. Baal gave license to their passionate desires.
3. Pity - the ruined lives.
a. Put passion of your life to destroying yourself.
b. The service of sin so unrewarding - so empty so damning.
III. THE PROPHET OF GOD.
A. Boldness.
B. Calmness & strength.
1. Reason for calmness & strength vs 36.
C. I have chosen for God, I will be a Christian, I would know the fellowship. How long halt ye, how long?
