Yeah, I don't typically think of "altar" in those terms either, Amber. I think of a pile of stones generally -- or a place in church where you can kneel and pray. :)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-9455342934005052182010-01-05T12:32:17.022-05:002010-01-05T12:32:17.022-05:00My first response is yes, in the way you describe,...My first response is yes, in the way you describe, the rainbow would be an 'altar' to remember God's covenant with Noah. <br /><br />But then, I would never call it that. When I hear the word altar, I think of an actual altar. So it's a little awkward for me.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-4392423949507038002010-01-05T07:30:55.957-05:002010-01-05T07:30:55.957-05:00Carmen, thanks for what you said.

That's it exactly!<br /><br />Another example the author gave besides Zacchaeus and the tree was Paul visiting the mile marker where Jesus met him on the road to Damascus and if Moses ever went back to that burning bush, took off his shoes and praised God for interrupting his ordinary life as a shepherd and giving him a second chance to make a difference.<br /><br />So I'd say our altars could be significant places or memories. Like prayer journals, recording God's goodness on a blog or on paper and so forth. If it helps you remember God's faithfulness and celebrate His goodness, the sky's the limit. Speaking of the sky, I wonder if the rainbow is sort of an altar. Not one built by people, of course, but a reminder of God's promise to never again destroy the earth by Flood.<br /><br />Anyway....thanks for all your comments. :)<br /><br />Do any of you have altars such as these already?Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-34492031146542008852010-01-04T14:17:58.609-05:002010-01-04T14:17:58.609-05:00Yes, and no about literal.

While I don't think he intended for us to make literal mounds of stones, I do think he intends for us to make literal momentos or reminders sometimes. <br /><br />If couples can go back to the restaurant where they had their first date, why can't Christians reread their old prayer journals and relive the the victories God gave them?<br /><br />I have heard a couple of really good sermons on this topic and one of them had to do with David's staff. <br /><br />We all need to set up reminders of God's goodness. Whether piles of stones or something a little more practical. ;)Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597013408191149111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-72111617108157638382010-01-04T13:13:58.497-05:002010-01-04T13:13:58.497-05:00Achelois,
