When You Really Need God To Show Up

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 5, 2016

The story is Elijah's proposed show-down between God and Baal at Mount Carmel. God doesn't want just part of us. He wants all of us, and he will tolerate no substitute, because he knows nothing else will satisfy in his place.
