WHY GO TO CHURCH????

 

 A Churchgoer 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!"
