OUTLINE OF OUR DISCUSSION

INTRO: We all need to read more. We need to not feel guilty for making this a part of our practice.

Reading is important and valuable for the Christian.

-Reading trains our minds.

-Reading helps us understand the ideas in the culture we live in.

We need to be disciplined in our reading.

-It doesn’t seem like a ‘good use of our time’

-We need to build it into our routine, and into the DNA of our families.

-We need to set aside other things in order to make time to read.

The church can foster a culture of reading.

-What books are in our church libraries and book tables?

-Do we talk about literature from the pulpit, when we gather for Bible study, and when we get together casually?
