It’s
important for your spiritual growth to not only
come to the Synagogue, but come regularly. Regular
attendance should be a habit that you develop
and make part of your life. 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!" And, you not
only should come to hear the Word of God, but
to serve in some way.
