"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~altar

Every Friday the staff at AOJ meet for a time of fellowship and devotions. This week, Dr Sam Martin, the founder of AOJ spoke. His message seemed to tie up all of our team devotions from the week. He encouraged and challenged us to accept Gods love and let it flow through us. He encouraged and challenged us to lay our lives down before the Lord daily.

When I lie in bed… first thing in the morning… before my feet touch the ground… make my bed an altar before You.
