Why Go To Church
A churchgoer wrote a letter to the editor of the 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 those meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"
Jesus and satan had an argurment as to who is the better programmer.
This goes on for a few hours, til they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God the Father as the judge.
They set themselves before their computers and begin.
They are given the task and begin to type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen for several hours straight.
Seconds before the end of the competion a bolt of lighting strikes, taking out the electricity.
Moments later the power is restored and God annouces that the contest is over.
He ask satan to show what he has come up with. Satan indignantly protests.
I have nothing, I lost it all when the power went out.
Very well than says God, let’s see if Jesus fared any better.
Jesus entered a command and the screen came to life with a vivid display.
The voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers.
Satan astonished, he stutters, b-b-but how?
God chuckles, satan, when are you going to learn…Jesus saves !
