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 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!"
“And
let us not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of
some; but exhorting one another: and so much the more as you see the day
approaching.” Hebrews 10:25
