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 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!

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



The same can be said about reading the Bible. You may not remember what you read in the Bible over the last few years,
or just like you will not remember what what you ate a few years ago. However, your body needed that nourishment and it
helped keep it strong. Just like your spiritual side will be strong from reading the Bible even though you may not remember what you read
years later.
