The church doesn’t have a mission; there is a mission, and it has the church.

The reality is that if you always do what you've always done, you'll always be where you've always been.

The great opposition to reading is what I allow to fill my time instead of reading. To say we have no time to read is not really true; we simply have chosen to use our time for other things, or have allowed our time to be filled to the exclusion of reading. So don't add reading to your to-do list. Just stop doing the things that keep you from doing it. But read.
