YOUTH MINISTER’S MOMENTS

 Here is an interesting article that I found and thought you may enjoy reading.  It is called, “Why Go to Church?  For those who may have this same question or have been asked this same question, I think the answer hits home.  Enjoy reading and make sure you attend regularly to get your spiritual nourishment. 

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 preachers 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 menus 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, receives the impossible!  Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!!
