A Challenge for You
By Steven J. Wallace

Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants ..."(1 Samuel 17:8-9)

David answered that challenge and destroyed Israel's enemy. On the other hand, the great prophet Elijah challenged the people of Israel to make a choice. He cried out: "How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him. But the people answered him not a word." (1 Kings 18:21)

In that spirit, I also lay forth some challenges for you, hoping you will not sit by and "answer not a word."
