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? (AMEN)!
