The Altar

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 5, 2020

In The Church of The Nazarene we have what we call altars but they are altars of prayer not true altars on which a sacrifice can be made. Why do some churches have altars of sacrifice while others do not? What does the Bible say?

But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His Law he meditates day and ...read more

You wrap it up, you package it securely, and you trot off to the post office. She’s going to love this! Three days ...read more

The Veill

Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Aug 20, 2013

The veil over the entrance to the Holy of Holies is what kept God in & the priests out. The veil, we know represents Jesus’ flesh that was torn to remove the Jewish priesthood and allow us to enter God’s Presence.
