“And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.” Genesis 12:7-8
“Beth-el” means “House of God.” “Hai” means “garbage dump”
The Altar alone, typifying the Cross, can keep the Believer to know the difference between the “House of God” and the “garbage dump” other than by the Cross. That’s the reason we have do much false doctrine presently and so many Christians following false doctrine.
For the last several decades, the Church has drifted so far from the Cross that it hardly knows any more where it has been, where it is or where it is going. Because it no longer plants its doctrine on the foundation of the Cross, it has lost completely its moorings.
Without an understanding of the Cross, there is absolutely no discernment regarding false doctrine.
That’s the reason that Paul the apostle said: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times (the times in which we are now) some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” 1 Timothy 4:1
A “departure from the Faith” i.e., Christ and Him Crucified” is the reason!
Never forget: Satan dresses up his: garbage dump” to look like something else altogether. In other words, they look like anything, but garbage dumps; and, without an understanding of the Cross, invariably that’s the way the Believer will go. Galatians 6:14
LET’S PRAY
