In 1 Kings, chapter 18, we find where Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal; but before he challenged the prophets, HE CHALLENGED THE PEOPLE!  "How long will ye halt between two opinions?"  The word "halt" means "to be lame".  The people were stuck between two opinions.  They were trying to serve God and the world; they were trying to worship God and devils at the same time.  IT NEVER HAS WORKED AND IT NEVER WILL!  Elijah was calling the nation to repentance.  Their country was experiencing drought and famine because of the idolatry of the people and the wickedness of their leaders.  The United States is in much the same situation today.  "...Lo, (we) have rejected the Word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in (us)?"  Jeremiah 8:9

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word that ye may grow thereby." 1 Peter 2:2

Picture, if you will, a newborn baby.  They look so innocent and lovable.  The only thing that really upsets them (other than if they are sick), is when they are hungry.  When their stomachs get empty they cry and fuss and scream; but feed them and they soon return to that joyful, playful, little bundle of life.  The child is designed for its mother's milk, and the mother's milk is designed for their child.  To those who have had children themselves this should be a familiar picture, one that hopefully brings back many fond memories.  It is one of the most basic principles of life.
