Why
Go To Church?
A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor
of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church
every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and
in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the
life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm
wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons
at all."
This started a real controversy in the "Letters
to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It
went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I've
been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some
32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire
menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this.. They all
nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my
wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be
spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is
UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible
and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our
spiritual nourishment!
Everyone should read this! "When
Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you
get that for me?"
