A churchgoer wrote a letter to the editor
of the 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!”
