Idols and Altars

   Then the Lord said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites this: 'You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. "Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you. If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it. And do not go up to my altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.' (Exodus 20:22-26 NIV)

    God has given specific instructions on how to make an altar unto him. The place that he will cause his name to be honored. There is to be no other gods alongside His altar. No man-made method or work is acceptable, less your nakedness be exposed. Our works are tried by God, whether they are good or not. He knows the very intentions of the heart, nothing escapes him. If we want the blessings of God we MUST follow the blueprint- the Bible.
