My Sacrifice Before The Lord

Contributed by Eric Smith on Aug 4, 2012

When you come to church, it is not up to the preacher, the worship leader, the musicians and the singers to get you right with God. Leviticus tells us 4 things the worshiper must do and and 4 things the "priest" does.

Lev 16:14-19 14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. 15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring ...read more

Caring God

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 4, 2013

When we touch upon the love of GOD, we plunge ourselves into an ocean whose depths have never been fathomed. It is all-embracing, all-inviting, all-supporting, and all-supplying.
