WORSHIP

A man dreamed that an angel escorted him to church one Sunday. There he saw the organist vigorously playing the organ, but no sound was heard. The choir and the congregation began to sing, but he heard no voices. When the minister stood up to pray, his lips moved but he heard nothing.

The man was amazed as he turned to his guide.
“You hear anything?” said the angel.
“No,” was the reply.
The angel replied, “You’re right, because there is nothing to hear. These people are not engaged in worship - only in the form of worship. Their hearts are not touched, and this silence is the silence that is yet unbroken by God”.
