Songsters left jobless during Worship Hour

Date: 30.01.2005

Perhaps for the first time in the history of Hermon House of Worship in Bangalore, India, the worship session ended without any songs from the faithfuls.

This is because, a certain Mr Visvas Paul D. Karra, gave the Word of God based on Gal ch 3 & 4 in which it talks about the people being caught in the vortex of law from which there was no escape. Even God the Father had allowed his people to be under tutors and governors (ch 4:2) for a season.

After the passing of time, the Father sent his son, made of a man, born of a woman, in the form of a servant to redeem the sons, who were formerly children, from the bondage of sin and satan.

While previously, the people were like children, under the schoolmaster of Satan (ch 3: 28), now they are heirs appointed unto eternal inheritance. (ch 4:6).

Having talked abt the schoolmaster, the question posed was whether anybody in the crowd could raise their hand to say that they had written a song when they were asked to write a 100-word essay.
Similarly, where was the need to sing meaningless and non-contextual songs while worshipping the Lord. Because, if anybody wrote a song instead of writing an essay, then surely they would have failed the test in school.

So there was not a soul who sang a song. Everyone who worshipped, gave praise and glory and honour to the Lord with a broken and contrite heart and the sacrifice of lips in their own instead of borrowing thoughts from songs and hymns.
