[StBernard] Why go to Church?

[Westley Annis]

	"We need not be afraid where we're going when we know God's going
w\us"!
	
	            Why go to Church?
	     If you're spiritually alive,you're going to love this!
	     If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it.
	     If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!
	
	            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 tothe 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!
	
	           All right, now that you're done
	reading, send it on! I think everyone should read this!
	"When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say,
	"Jesus, could you get that for me?"
