WHY GO TO WORSHIP?
A churchgoer
wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made
no sense to go to church every week. “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…”
This started a 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 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!”
