Why Go To Church?
A churchgoer wrote a letter to a newspaper editor 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. The controversy went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: “I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time, my wife has cooked me 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 to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for spiritual nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!
