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! Why Go To Church? 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 r ecall 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?"
