Why go to church?

*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 *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?"*
