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 without compromise. We must bring hope to the hurting. It’s time for change. It’s time to return to the altar . . . and encounter God.

Notes
Endorsements:
Pat and Karen Schatzline speak my language as they call on believers everywhere to rebuild the altars of personal devotion and to encounter the living God in a fresh new way. In ancient Israel it was a law that the fire on the altar could never go out, yet all too often, in our own walks with the Lord, that holy fire get extinguished. That’s why Pat and Karen write with such passion and conviction, pointing us back to that place of divine encounter and giving us a vision for our own lives, for our families and churches, and for the nation as a whole. It’s time for a fresh awakening!
