Altars have always represented change. They are the places where sacred space meets our surrender and leads to authentic spiritual transformation. From the beginning of time, God's people have built altars to mark the places where God spoke, gave direction, or gave His blessing. It is the place where God's people surrendered offerings to Him in obedience. In the New Testament, Jesus became that surrendered offering, but He also became the place-in His person-for those who were hurting, lost, and who longed to encounter God. In the midst of a world filled with chaos and disappointment, pain and death, there is a promise of restoration and transformation. However, it isn't found at the end of our lives, but at the end of ourselves. It is found when we embrace surrender. This daily reader will awaken obedient hearts and minds to the transforming power of a surrendered life.

To be a servant, in the most basic sense, is to serve someone other than yourself. In the secular arena, the word servant may even have a negative connotation, but what are its implications for those who follow Christ? What does it really mean to be a faithful servant of the Lord, or to have a servant's heart? In The Life of Servanthood, Timothy C. Tennent gets to the root of what it means to be a servant by laying a foundation through a distinctly Christian voice and vision. Tennent works through the seemingly paradoxical nature of how Christ's service brings about justice and salvation to the world. Jesus also provides a model which invites God's people to imitate him, and therefore embody what redemption looks like for the world. With theological expertise borne out of experience spanning more than thirty years, Tennent teaches readers what makes Christian servanthood unique and why its power endures as a countercultural force.

It was an ordinary chapel service on February 8, 2023, in Hughes Auditorium at Asbury University. But what happened next was anything but ordinary, taking almost everyone by surprise. While most left for class, some students remained. Several gospel choir members stayed on, singing softly as a few dozen students lingered in prayer. Throughout the day something spiritually magnetic was underway as hundreds of students returned for unscheduled, unscripted worship.Before the day was out, accounts of what was transpiring started drawing students from the University of Kentucky and other nearby campuses. By the weekend, small-town Wilmore was inundated by thousands of pilgrims hungry for God. Before long, thousands morphed into tens of thousands.Through sixteen days of round-the-clock, continuous worship, participants recalled an extraordinary sense of the nearness of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There was no performance with celebrities or polished musicians and no comfortable, spacious venue. Yet an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 pilgrims came from at least 40 states, 286 campuses, and 40 countries. This work explores a spontaneous revival whose impact through social media continues to reverberate around the world.

The day of Pentecost is not coming sometime in the future. Nor is it a one-and-done event that happened in the past. The day of Pentecost came, is come, and is now here. In fact, Pentecost is an eternal day-it inaugurated the Age of the Holy Spirit. Once that day came, it never stopped coming. We either wake up into that day or we slide into another intervening day of slumber.In Still Day One, J. D. Walt calls the church to wake up to that new day afresh. It is the day after the dawn of the new creation, the day after the birth of the church Jesus builds in our time. And while personal experiences with the Holy Spirit may prove to be a unique mixture of personality and spirituality, keeping the gift of the Holy Spirit stirred up within you means the same thing for everyone: never losing sight of Jesus so that we might become like him.
