Here is the TwitterNotes of Week 3 of Encounters With God where we discuss altars.

Encounters With God - Self Sacrifice

The central issue of life is worship.

Romans 12.1 - I urge you in view of God and his mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.

Some people sacrifice their bodies to meaningless and trivial things.

Their hands, feet, eyes, ears, tongues and hearts are sacrificed to time-consuming activities that are largely insignificant

John 15:10 - If you keep my commands you’ll remain intimately at home in my love, that’s what I've (Jesus) done - kept my Fathers commands and made myself at home in his love.

Matthew22:37-39 - Jesus said "Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence" and "Love others as well as you love yourself

If God doesn’t exist then worship is insanity. But if God does exist then nothing is more logical or reasonable than worship.

If worship is sacrifice, and true worship is self-sacrifice then it is time that we begin sacrifice our desires.
