Why Go to Church?
A churchgoer wrote a letter to the editor of
the 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 those 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!
