1 Kings 18-19
What are you doing in your life?
Three ways to interpret the question:
What Are You Doing Here?
Three decisions that Elijah made to put him in the wrong place:
He listened to the wrong voices.
Who's voice are you listening to?
The voice of the Devil?
The voice of other people?
He went to the wrong places.
When we are in the wrong places, it negatively effects our testimony.
He separated himself from the right places.
Acts 8:1-8

Revival can start with just ONE person who is

Not only can revival begin with just one

person.

Hebrews 13:15
•(Worship is) "to quicken the conscience by the holyness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open up the heart to give the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God. "
•"The immense tragedy of the contemporary church is that most people worship their work, work at their play, and play at their worship".
