Why go to Church?
If
you're spiritually
alive, you're going
to love this!
If
you're spiritually
dead, you won't want
to read it.
If
you're spiritually
curious, there is still
hope!
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!
"When
Satan is knocking at your door, simply
say, "Jesus,
could you get that for me?"
Have a blessed
day!
