In the closing days of 2022, speaker and author Dwain Esmond shared a direct appeal from his heart to pastors around the globe in an article titled Back to the Altar. The need, he says, is the broken worship altar ... [it] Represents the single greatest threat to [Christian] life and purpose... People who lack a consistent devotional walk with God cannot know Him, love Him, or effectively share Him with others. And the needed response, Esmond’s appeal, is that the restoration of personal and family worship among [Christians] is the most pressing need of our time... This February we will hear the call from sacred scripture to return to what was known in the Old Testament as the altar. What could be the potential for your journey with Jesus if you were to join a 28- day challenge of spending personal time (or increasing time), daily family time, and community worship time (joining a Sabbath School class or attending worship each week)? From February 5 - March 4 our Friend and Savior invites you to meet Him at the altar.
