An Altar Called Witness

As we endeavor to live lives of faithfulness before the Lord, to keep covenant and to give our children something to see as a reminder to seek after the Lord all our days, it is essential that we weave the contours of Christ work of redemption into all that we say and do. We need practical, covenantally authorized helps to show us the way we are to go, not to supplant the real act of Christ's work, but to show us that we are, even when we are separated from one another by geography bound together by one covenant of grace. It is the altar where peace with God and men is made good, namely in the once and for all sacrificing of Christ Jesus for sinners.
