Church - What is it good for?

 

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 cooked

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!

Excellent piece of message dear sister in Sai,

thank you verymuch

We are conditioned to do religious activities without perhaps not

being informed what its absence would create in our lives.

this many times leads one to misjudge that going to church or

chanting / praying - thease are a waste of time& energy.

It might be better if this man wrote his letter to the Lord, praing

Him to purify his vision why it is happenes so last 30 years. A pure

heart leads to the sensible life. Sai Ram.
