1 Kings 1821-24

• 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."

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 41-3
