David Ifionu-One time Nsukka subzonal second wrote this. The old story is told by Evang Legge, D., about the man who dreamed an angel escorted him to church, and there he saw the organist and the pianist playing vigorously, the choir singing and musicians playing their instruments with great gusto - but the man never heard a sound. He turned to his angelic escort, after seeing the congregation singing but hearing no sound, seeing the minister rise to speak but his speech muted as his lips moved - no volume at all. In amazement he said to the angel: Whats the reason for this? Whats the explanation of not hearing a thing?, and the angel just replied: Well, thats the way it sounds to us in heaven - thats the way it sounds to us in heaven. You hear nothing because there is nothing to hear. These are people engaged in the form of worship, but their thoughts are on other things, their hearts are far away. Remember d words of stephen charnock Without the heart it is no worship, it is a stage-play, it is an acting a part without being that person really, it is a playing the hypocrite. May God revive true spiritual worship in d church. Amen. Posted by Jikeme Samuel-Nifes Zonal Sec
