Happy birthday Chris! :full-moon-with-face:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:1‭-‬7 KJV

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Philippians 3:17‭-‬19 KJV

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 11:12‭-‬15 KJV

You shall make an altar on which to burn incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.
#exodus 30:1

The altar of incense is missing from the first description of the Tabernacle earlier in Exodus. Perhaps because the Tabernacle is patterned on Heaven and the altar is an image of our relationship with God through prayer and worship that rises up from the Earth. There is nothing higher than God's throne room.

Like the bronze altar and the Shewbread Table, the incense altar was square, possibly a reference to wholeness, like the "four corners" of the earth. It was made of a solid block of shittim wood (acacia) and then overlaid with gold.

Only one variety of incense is allowed on the altar of incense. God is very particular about how he is to be approached and worshiped. Don't mix pagan practices with the worship of YHWH. Exodus 30:9

One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
Exodus 29:39

Dawn and dusk are universally recognized as spiritually significant times, often considered to be the time of day when the barriers between the physical and spiritual worlds are thinnest. Pagan religions frequently reflect distorted images of God's true spiritual order. #tetsaveh

God so loved.... Love your enemies.... then we have

Jn 2:15 
LoveG25 notG3361 theG3588 world,G2889 neitherG3366 the thingsG3588 that are inG1722 theG3588 world.G2889 IfG1437 any manG5100 loveG25 theG3588 world,G2889 theG3588 loveG26 of theG3588 FatherG3962 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 him.G846 ......

So I think that there is a misunderstanding in how we are to love for many of us who call ourselves believers. The same Greek word used for love in God so loved in John 3:16 is the same love we are told by a different John to no love...

I think we can love. but love nothing more than we love Our God. So dont be afraid to love, just guard yourself from where love can lead you if you loose your focus.
