There are two important issues that must be understood on this topic.

First: the significance of the altar. This could either be the physical location within a church, or a personal time of dedication unto the Lord.

Secondly: for the church altar space, there should be a system of order and basic procedures for how to work it. Altar calls need to be a time of sacrifice to the Lord and personal transformation. This lesson provides wisdom for how to implement common-sense order for the church altar.
