Oak Grove Baptist Church

From the Heart.

There is an old story about a man who dreamed that an angel escorted him to church one Sunday.  There he saw the keyboard musician playing vigorously, the praise team singing, but the man heart no sound.

The congregation was singing, yet the sound was utterly muted.

When the minister rose to speak, his lips moved, but there was no volume.

In amazement, the man turned to his escort for an explanation.

The angel said, “this is the way it sounds in heaven, you hear nothing because there is nothing to hear.  The people are engaged in the form of worship, but their thoughts are on other things and their hearts are far away.

 Matthew 18:8,9

"These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts is far from Me.

And in vain, they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”

 Let us come each Sunday prepared to engage the LORD God with our hearts, mind and soul.

 Psalm 96:9  Oh worship the Lord in the beauty of his holiness, tremble before Him, all the earth.
