Why go to Church?

This seems to be an age-old question. One that many, if not all, struggle with on a weekly basis. So here is some advice for that personal debate that I thought was worth posting here.

****************************************

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 (or Saturday). "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."

Well, as you can imagine, this started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for two 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!"

Remember, when you are DOWN to nothing...God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and recieves the impossible! Thank God for your physical AND Spiritual nourishment!
