I have an altar bench in my home.It was given to me out of the church where I began in ministry.I love that bench it reminds me of good things.When they remodeled they also asked me if I wanted the pulpit but it was too big to cart to Florida so I declined.I am sorry now.I could get a big mirror and put it on the wall in front of it and preach at myself.I need all the preaching I can get.I also need all the praying I can get.To be honest looking at the altars they were giving out I wouldn't mind having one.French Acadians have had these in their homes for years.You can go to some of our tourist places like Vermillionville in Lafayette,La and see what an Acadian village is like and each house has a prayer bench and kneeler.

I too doubt it was a fundraiser, if so then shame on them.
It looks like a good idea, he is right when he says we make room in our homes for everything else, why not to pray.

Garage sale piece?! Fundraiser?!
Oh please...can you two not find anything positive that those affiliated with the UPCI might do?!
I see many things wrong with the org, but grow weary of the constant attempt to make light of everything coming down the Pike.
Let us hope it accomplishes the desired intent of the pastor.

Reminds me of a sign outside a church which said something like
A family altar
can alter your family.

Huh ... this has nothing to do w/ the org ... Barb ....
It's a human interest story ... that I thought would appeal to the forum.
Unweary, thyself.

It is a human interest story, but your thread title and the post I quoted seemed to be nitpicking again.
If I misjudged, forgive me, but one can only go by what they read.

Yeah, I got a comment. When did we become so cynical? Sure, much has been done in the name of religion that were, in reality, fund raising projects. Kinda like the books, tapes and DVDs preachers are selling. "My latest book will change your life". "This DVD will make you a brand new YOU". If I bought every book and tape that they promise "will change my life", I wonder who I'd be now?
But, gee... its seems we have have become Doubting Thomases about... well, about everything. Are we are a part of crowd standing back judging the works of Jesus, or are we thronging Him, seeking His touch? A preacher distributes altars... and we start lookin' for the money angle. "Whats his hidden agenda...his REAL motive"? I think the brother has a good idea, but, sadly, unless it is in the hearts of people to pray, giving them an altar bench won't cause them to pray. But...it is a start. It is an effort. Jesus healed on the Sabbath. Some sought His touch, some listened to His Words. Another group stood back and asked, "Should He be doin that on the Sabbath? Whats He up to anyway?" I wonder, given all of our doubt and cynisim of all things religious, I wonder which group we'd be in?
