In churches across America and around the world, the altar became a place for: decision, encounter, worship, sacrifice, reflection, repentance, change, confession, declaration, accountability, celebration, revelation, empowerment and passion.
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” - Romans 12:1-2
A CALL TO MEET WITH GOD
"For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God." - Romans 8:20-21
God loved us so much that He refuses us to be comfortable with the life we were living and will bring us to the crossroads of dissatisfaction and destiny – but the choice on which path to stay is yours.
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory…” - 2 Corinthians 3:18, NASB
IT'S TIME TO DUST OFF THE ALTAR
“Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it” - Judges 6:25
