Why go to Church?

[Guest guest]

Hello Dear Ones,

Since this is Sunday morning, I thought this would be appropriate to share.

(Now I have to get ready to go to church!)

WHY GO TO CHURCH?

A Church goer 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 am 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!
