“We have been taught to keep the commandments, and we have kept them all too well. We have enshrined them like religious relics in sealed containers on the altar. Thus, it could be said that one lives by the commandments in much the same way as many persons live by a neighbor, never learning his name, let alone having any understanding communication with him.” WayWellsPersonsHas BeensSaidNamesUnderstandingReligiousTaughtCommunicationNeighborLive ByCommandmentsAltarsRelicsContainers Book:Breaking the Ten Commandments: Discover the Deeper Meaning Source: Breaking the Ten Commandments: Discover the Deeper Meaning

“Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's.” WayWantKindMayStillsFactsHandsTermReligiousMistakeAcceptingChristianityFireNiceSkyShareCallingGloryPromotingRevivalAltarsShoutingGlory Of GodPower Of GodChariots Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer

And every altar has a throne.” ChurchReligiousDoorsWorshipCornersThronesAltars Author:Louie Giglio
