Let's talk about the importance of raising up an altar to God in our homes. How do we do it? Will the generations that come from us after us find us faithful and meet God in the way we order the lives of our families?

We underscore the significance of recognising one’s heart as the ultimate altar, highlighting the necessity of stirrings within the heart that reflect our devotion to God. With insightful anecdotes, this episode eloquently navigates the complexities of worship and our relationship with God. Our goal is to inspire listeners towards a heartfelt honesty in their spiritual journey.

Finally, we delve into the heart's role as the centre of our intentions and actions. Exploring the implications of valuing worldly desires like power and fame, we remind listeners of the dangers of idolizing these transient pursuits. We emphasize self-examination and repentance, assuring that our spiritual growth lies in aligning our hearts with God, remaining steadfast in faith, and recognizing that renewal starts with repentance.

God's baseline feeling towards us is mercy and he always acts favourably toward us. He is not angry at you or the world.

John 1:14

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus was the answer to Moses' prayer, "Show me your glory!" Our hope has come. If we ever want to know more than just God's character but come to know Him, Jesus is the answer to this hope. Through Him we get to truly see and know God as Gracious, compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love, a forgiving God forgiving us.

Maintaining love for thousands

And Forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin

Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;

He punishes the children and their children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth-generation

God's mercy and justice work together so that we always get His love. How God does this is by offering to forgive us. Every way we fail to be truly human, sin, has real impact, consequences and ripple effects. Justice requires that we are held accountable. God offers to lift the burden of sin and all it brings off of us. He keeps His promises of love longer than sin can cause pain to us, He keeps his promises forever.

God's name is not just a label for him, it reveals His Character. Today we look at the center point for the theology of God in Scripture when God himself proclaimed His Name Yahweh and what is in the Name.

In the first encounter between Moses and God in Exodus, He introduces himself and says his personal name. His Name is YHWH. This is the name he is to be called through all generations. While words like god, mungu and others work they are only titles and just like in that time they are often used to refer to many other beings and ideas that people worship.
