Why Go To Church?

<div><p>Going to church is such an amazingly fulfilling experience. There is no better place to cleanse your soul and your spirit than in a church while listening to the Word of God. </p><p>But sometimes, just sometimes, you need a little reminder of why you go. Something to kick-start that incredible connection once again. </p><p>Whether it's during a rough patch health wise, mentality wise, or just a feeling in your gut, it's not uncommon to waver in your faith sometimes. It's what happens during that shaky period to bring you back to God that matters. </p><p>This short <a href="http://www.inspire21.com/stories/faithstories/WhygotoChurch">story</a>, author unknown, perfectly describes why people should go to church. It's good for a couple laughs and definitely solid reasoning!</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/dowehaveto.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/dowehaveto_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Seven Whole Days</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>"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!</p><p>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. &nbsp;"I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. &nbsp;But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. &nbsp;So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."</p><p>This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. &nbsp;It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years now. &nbsp;In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. &nbsp;But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. &nbsp;But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. &nbsp;If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. &nbsp;Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"</p><p>When you are DOWN to nothing, God is UP to something!</p><p>Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!</p><p>Thank God for your physical AND our spiritual nourishment!</p><p>When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?""</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Do you agree with the moral of the story?
