Worship as It Is in Heaven
“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
I’m sure you will all agree that there are one thousand words in these two pictures. They need no explanation; however, I would like to make just a few comments as we consider how far the church in America has fallen.
It is very clear from reading in Acts, as well as in other writings, that the early church was filled with awe in the presence of God. The picture of Paul and Silas is just one example of this. With reverent humility, they worshiped God and joined in with those in the heavenlies.
How
different things are now in this 21st century! No one cries. No one is broken
in the presence of the living God. Today worship has taken
on a Hollywood air that would make Paul and Silas weep. The
atmosphere is charged with emotions and loud music, while proud-faced
musicians scream sanctified words to unsanctified music. Lord,
send revival to America, and let it start with me.
