Stop Reading...Anything

So over on the right you see some great links (some are so-so, I keep them because...well, I keep them) that I read often.  One is Home Studio Corner, which is all about recording.  Now, maybe you don't care about recording, I get that.  No biggie.  But his latest post was Stop Reading This Website which, in addition to being a provocative title, makes a lot of sense.

To summarize: If all you're going to do is read about something, stop it.  It's all about putting it into practice.

I know a lot of pastors and leaders who don't even read about leadership or church growth or evangelism or frankly anything that could remotely bring a new idea into their worlds.  But those that DO read, most read voraciously.  Lots of books.

And too many of us stop there.  We read about it, it sounds great.  And then we read the next book.  And so it goes.  Nothing changes.

We do that with the Bible too, don't we?  We read it, daily.  We read the Bible a lot.  But too often it doesn't do anything to us.  We just move on.  Nothing changes...

I won't say stop reading the Bible...  But read it with passion.  Read it with a reason.  Let it change your heart and mind and life.  Otherwise...what's the point?
