Why go to Church? (This is good)
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
203,000 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!
