Why Go to Church?
If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!
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!
Where Does God Go in the Summer
…He goes wherever you go!
“Lord … you know when I sit and stand…
My travels and my rest you mark;
With all my ways you are familiar…
Behind and before you encircle me…
Where can I hide from Your Spirit?
From your presence, where can I flee?
If I ascend to the heavens, You are
There…If I fly with the wings of dawn
And alight beyond the sea, even there
Your hand will guide me, Your right
Hand will hold me fast.” (Ps. 139)
God is….anywhere you are!
