A Church-goer wrote a letter to the editor o=
f a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Su=
nday. He wrote: "I’ve gone for 30 years now, and in that time I have h=
eard 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, the preachers and p=
riests 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 week=
s 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 strengt=
h I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would =
be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I ha=
d not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!&qu=
ot;
Amen, say we.
