The following article and I felt that it was well worth passing on to you.
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
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 preachers and priests 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!*
IF YOU CANNOT SEE GOD IN ALL, YOU CANNOT SEE GOD AT ALL !
