My Utmost for His Highest. "Lord, I will follow Thee; but . . ." Luke 9:61 Supposing God tells you to do something which is an enormous test to your common sense, what are you going to do? Hang back? If you get into the habit of doing a thing in the physical domain, you will do it every time until you break the habit determinedly; and the same is true spiritually. Read More...

The Answer For Evil. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 53:1) How it was that 60 million perished following the Bolshevik revolution? 'Men have forgotten God' - that's why all this happened. All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today's world are fruitless unless we redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all: Without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn 1. |

As we look today at the brazen altar, my thought goes to the book of Hebrews that simply says, we have an "altar", I'm wondering do we as God's children have an "altar"? Scripture tells us, the brazen altar was where the children of Israel repented of their sins and were able to make atonement for them. The brazen altar was the symbol of the cross of Christ, and it was there the sinner bowed in repentance and found cleansing through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. What about repentance? To repent simply, yet profoundly means to turn around, meaning, we're going a new way, the old has died, the new has arrived, Praise God. Please understand, it's not just about feelings, repentance is an act of our will followed by action based on God's word. When we repent and turn to God, it produces power with God; it will produce miracle-working faith in our great God. Faith is a gift from God (Eph. 2:8). We must repent to qualify for this gift of faith, read (Hebrews 11:6). In His Love, Pastor Durden
