Considering...

One time when Jack Hayford was speaking at our church he related in his message that altars are made of hard things. Altars are usually made of stone where an offering of sacrifice is made to God in worship of Him. Removing the things in our lives that trip us up is sometimes very hard but when we are willing it pleases the Lord. I like to relate it to Isaiah 62:10 because the things that trip us up also cause other people to stumble and slow down their journey, even block their way.

“Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner for the people.”

So, if you end up with a pile of stones you've removed and don’t know what to do with them, build an altar...or two...or....
