Kauflin on Singing in Heaven

This video was taken in preview of the Power of Words and Wonder of God Conference by Desiring God that is actually taking place at this moment. I cannot wait to listen to the audio of this conference. I love the subject of heaven (duh), and any picture that makes me thirst for it more is worth my time. I think Kauflin provides such a picture.




Here is a quote from Martin Luther that Kauflin used in his address at the DG Conference. Only Luther could say it like this.

When man's natural musical ability is whetted and polished to the extent that it becomes an art, then do we note with great surprise the great and perfect wisdom of God in music, which is, after all, His product and His gift; we marvel when we hear music in which one voice sings a simple melody, while three, four, or five other voices play and trip lustily around the voice that sings its simple melody and adorn this simple melody wonderfully with artistic musical effects, thus reminding us of a heavenly dance, where all meet in a spirit of friendliness, caress and embrace. A person who gives this some thought and yet does not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being; he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.
