Rebuilding The Altar

The Holy Spirit has become a stranger. Many long for a closer walk with God, but He seems far away. They go to church. They read the Bible. But they don't experience His presence. Why? Because many have forsaken the altar--the place where God is found. When we truly encounter Him again, the light and power of God will flow to our homes, then to our houses of worship, then to the nation, and we will never be the same. In Rebuilding the Altar authors Pat and Karen Schatzline passionately challenge you to return to the altar. You see, the altar is not just a physical location or an instrument in a church or synagogue. Through Christ we can experience a daily encounter with Jesus, who became our altar. We must declare this truth to the deceived. We must raise a standard of holiness and no compromise. We must bring hope to the hurting. It's time for change. It's time to return to the altar...and encounter God.

Families are in crisis, and as a result, so is society. The number of children who are leaving the church and completely walking away from the faith is alarming. All of this is part of a deeper issuefamilies have stopped worshiping together at home. Dr. Clint Ritchie examines the change in family worship in Rebuilding the Family Altar and challenges parents to accept their God-given role as the leader in the spiritual development of their children. Ritchie provides a biblical foundation for the family altar, examines key elements of family worship, and offers fifty-two family worship devotionals. Rebuilding the Family Altar stresses the need for parents to include more than church attendance in their childrens spiritual journey. This resource strives to bring the church and parents together to revive family worship. With the precision of a surgeons scalpel, Dr. Ritchie dissects the cause of todays family struggles. With clarity he goes step by step in diagnosing the issues and along with it, offers solid biblical examples of how to move forward to be the family that God desires and to aid parents, even includes a years Bible study. This book, with Gods guidance, will convict parents and create a new, sold-out generation for His glory. Rev. John Yates, John Yates Ministry, LLC

Few believers experience God's altar--a place of pure and wholehearted relationship and worship where our holy God can meet with us and the fire of his presence can fall. But such an altar is necessary in our personal lives, our marriages, our churches, and our nations so that we are strengthened, empowered, and equipped for every good work. In this influential, modern-day call back to the altar, Chuck D. Pierce and Alemu Beeftu invite readers to find their way to rebuild the place of God's presence to allow the fire of God--his presence and power--to fall. When we rekindle the altar fire, our lives, prayer, and worship are transformed. The time to rebuild altars for fresh fire is now!

For the average church goer or person, worship generally refers to the activities that takes places within the confines of a church building, usually on a Sunday morning. For the average pentecostal or charismatic christian, it particularly refers to the segment within a church service where songs are sang with some musical accompaniment.While the above "descriptions" may relate to worship in a sense, the question to be asked is - What really constitute true worship from the perspective of the bible?The aim of this book is to get to the heart of the matter by establishing that, true worship is not so much the various "activities" we may be carrying out in God's name, but it is essentially a lifestyle underlined by a certain heart condition that God approves of - a passionate desire to obey God in our daily lives. As Jesus said, God is searching for true worshipers who will worship God in spirit (from the heart) and in truth (by obedience).My hope is that, as we apply these thoughts and principles found in this book to our lives, we'll be chosen to be part of the remnant that God will use in these last days before the coming of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.

An examination of the 12 stones used by Elijah to rebuild the broken altar of God on the day that he challenged the prophets of Baal. These stones represent the 12 tribes of Israel, each with unique characteristics that we need in the church and the world today before God's fire and power will fall as it did for Elijah.

In today's church it is observed that persons have become consumed many times with their daily affairs and often (in some cases) the righteous altar is not properly established nor utilized. We seek after miracles, signs, and wonders yet our first place of relationship with God has not yet been established. We do not have a meeting place for God and man. We want the experiences of healing, deliverance and breakthrough but trying the "microwave" method. It is upon noticing these trends that Bishop Dr. Roderick Senior has written this book which explains, educates, and outlines the importance of getting back to our righteous altars with prayer and fasting. You will find: Altar uses from the bible Information regarding varying types of altars The importance of your personal altar and your church altar How to hear your altar speak The altars in our churches have to some extent gotten cold and the fire has gone out, but Christ's desire is for us to experience His manifestation in all areas of our lives. Hence, I am calling each person, each church who will read this book to reignite their righteous altars and allow these altars to speak. Christ will meet you as your deliverer, healer, provider, and defender.
