My Heart Lies Between The Porch And The Altar

By Karen L Sumrall

In today's world, we need to understand how very important it is to have a life driven to the Altar of God. An Altar is not something we just visit for salvation; but it must be a habitation for us. A place for our hearts to intertwine with the heart of God! This book's purpose is to draw the reader to such a place of intimacy and honor with our Abba Father by desiring His Altar. A place where the Creator meets with His Creation; where the Altar becomes as holy to man as it is to God! How one must become aware of who He is, and how much He loves us. What exactly is an Altar to God? It's a place where offerings are made, a sacrifice that we make, that will honor Him. It's a place of exchange of our hearts, a place to commune with one another, a place of holiness and vows; a memorial of sacred events, a celebration of grandeur and divine conquests, where worship of deity is established. In laymen's language it's an Altar that alters one's life to forever be remembered and remain set in stone between God and mankind. In the Old Testament, mankind erected Altars to God; it was a place where they came to give their sacrifices of animals, for atonement. In the New Testament, Jesus' blood became the atonement for our sins; and our hearts were erected as an Altar unto him. An Altar can be anywhere you choose to commune with our Creator. Some have their talks with the Lord, within their homes, in their showers, in their bathrooms, in their cars, wherever you find the Lord near and dear to you! As you read the chapters ahead, be determined to acknowledge how our loving Jesus wants a place of intimacy, and desires, to meet you at the Altar in your heart. Be prepared to make an Altar of remembrance. Journal and underline those specific areas that moves your heart to his. I promise you, He will meet you at your Altar of sacrifice...
