WHY GO TO CHURCH?

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If you'respiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spirituallycurious, there is still hope!

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complainedthat it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30years 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 ofthem... So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wastingtheirs 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 someonewrote 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 entiremenu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They allnourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wifehad not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would bespiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible andreceives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritualnourishment!

All right... now that you're done reading ......send it on!!! I think everyone should read this!! "When Satan is knocking at your door, simplysay,"Jesus, could you get that for me?!!"
