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!

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!  

When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say,

“Jesus, could you get that for me?”

It may seem foolish to most today. I am sure the people in Noah’s time felt that way also, till the Rain came.

It may seem foolish to most today. I am sure the people in Egypt at Moses time felt that way at first.

It may seam foolish to most today; however, tomorrow you might not thing so.

Don’t you think it’s worth looking into? If I am wrong and you are right nothing has been lost for the both of us.

 If you are wrong you have lost everything and I still have lost nothing.

Jesus says in John 14:6  “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Come to Church! Check it out! It might change your Life forever!

Well, it’s the 6th of January, 2010. How are we all holding up? I know that for me, my optimism for the new year is being sapped by this incredible cold snap and the general after Christmas blues. But I had a reminder today of just how good I have it. It the kind of reminder that reminded me of the glory of God and how he uses people. I received the link to this video in my e-mail this morning and it has brightened my day and had encouraged me. I hope it encourages you as well.
