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 their's 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! When Satan is knocking at your
door, simply say....
"Jesus, could you get that for me?!!"
