Question posed of a panel at a Ligonier Ministries event:

How boring heaven must be if all we are doing there is worshiping God. What do you believe heaven will be like, and please, expand on this thought? Dr. Sproul? [laughter]

Sproul: What’s wrong (with you people?) [laughter]

Well, I think, if all we have to do, for eternity, is to worship God, and it’s the God of the Bible, I don’t think there’ll be a second of boredom for our souls in that time. [applause] And I’ve, I’ve talked about that. I’ve said, you look at the gamut of feelings that humans have, to encounters with God in the Bible. Some people are driven to their knees, some repent in sackcloth and ashes, some people just weep endlessly, some people are paralyzed, or you see Belshazzar with his knees knocking. And you see all these different human emotional responses, to people encountering God. Now, I’ve never seen anywhere in the Bible where when God appears, somebody’s bored. [laughter]

That’s just not a natural human response to encountering God. But people may be bored in worship services here and then project that, infinitely and eternally, and say, am I going to have to be bored forever as much as I am listening to this preacher on a Sunday morning? That’s, that’s another matter. It’s not God that’s boring, it’s the preacher. [laughter]
