Matthew 16 (King James Version)
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his
life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels;
and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of
death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

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 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?"
