Why Consume Sermon Stuff

There are many people who cannot see any reason why they need to gather and be a part of worship or listen to a sermon.  The following story (though its been around a while,  and the author unknown) answers their concerns quite well.  Matter of fact, these  concerns say more about the one asking the question than they will ever be able to discern.  Anyway... Check this oldie but good.

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If not... not so much :o)

Why Be Involved In A Community of Faith?

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!" 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!"

I am watching spirituality and involvement with the People of God change lives daily.  It can do the same for you... If you let it happen.  Why not try feasting on Spiritual Food?  See what happens :o)

Be Blessed 2-day ... Especially 2-day.
