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 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 ... pass it on. I think everyone
should read this. "When Satan is knocking at
your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?" |
