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
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!
