Altars: Fire Killers

No matter how shattered your altar may have become, under the right circumstances, it can come back to life again. We are not supposed to treat our spiritual fire as if it cannot be quenched. We are to protect it because it can be quenched. It is our responsibility to fan the flames of the fire in us and keep it burning. As a priest of your altar, you should not only know how to make the fire but also know how to make sure the fire does not die. Various things can kill the fire on our altars. Some of these, highlighted and explained with examples, are the flesh, weight and sin, strange fire, and lukewarmness.
