Red Meat

Today I was discussing the value of church with a friend who hadn't been in a while. We ended up comparing church to red meat. As students we found that its pretty easy to forget or eliminate red meat from one's diet. You can get protein in chicken, salmon, meat alternatives etc. But every time I have red meat after going without for a while my body just feels so energized. My body says "Thank you! This is what I've been missing!" Its kinda like that with church. As a student you either get in the habit of going to church, or you don't. Its not that hard to find excuses, forget, and go weeks or months without it. But then you go, and your soul says "Thank you! This is the spiritual nourishment I've been craving! This is the community that re-energizes me!"

So there you have it: Church is like red meat.
