THE CHURCH: A Place To Feel
The old man had been deaf most of his life. But every Sunday found him in church, sitting on the same pew, attempting to go through the motions of worship in harmony with the other worshipers. Yet, his every act of worship was a strain carried out in his world of silence.
A close friend wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to the old man. He read, "Why do you go to church? You can't hear a word that is said."
Calling on his broken and faltering English remembered from his hearing days, he said, “To let people know whose side I’m on!"
He continued, “At worship in church I may not hear much, but I FEEL MUCH. I feel what’s happening around me; the music's rhythm touches me; the prayers hold me close; the smiles on people’s faces during the sermon and the intensity I sense from them, give me a feeling of God's presence.”
Worshiping in church gives a feeling that no other expression of God’s presence approaches. No wonder the writer of Hebrews instructed; "Forsake not the asse mb lying of ourselves together.” (Hebrews 10:25) _ Copyright 1967, Katotar-WHkams Newspaper Services. P O Box 8005. ChariottesviWa, VA 22906
