Incense & Anointing Oil (Exodus 30)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 8, 2024

How do incense and anointing oil picture the Christian life? Let's look at Exodus 30.

Are our prayers trivial to God? Does God treat our prayers as pleasant incense? If God considered the anointing of the priests to be sacred, how do we treat the spiritual leaders in our churches?

Restoring Worship

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2024

Nehemiah was broken hearted over the condition of his people. Do you know something is sadly missing in our churches today? Weeping! How long has it been since you saw wet eyes in church? Tears at the altar?

Opening illustration: I was never ever overwhelmed with worship at any church in our nation as much as my spirit was moved by the worship at the rickety broken ‘Church of Noah’s Ark’ at Monterrey, Mexico. Even though I did not understand the language, but the power of the Holy Spirit was so ...read more
