25% of my reading is from the 1st 1500 yrs of the church, 25% from last 500yrs, 25% from last 100 yrs, 25% current.
Leaders are readers but narrow reading only reinforces your biases. You won't grow until you read books out of your stream.
Reading more is simple: Turn off the TV! There's little on it that will matter a wk from now, much less 10yrs or for eternity.
Like said, it's amazingly inspiring stuff!

Isiah showed me this link displaying the power of HTML5. A couple of months ago Steve Jobs said that Adobe Flash, which is used everyone on the internet is obsolete. He got a lot of backlash for making that comment. Which in a year could be absolutely true! Check out this link and experience the power of HTML5. It can do everything that Flash can do and better and without the viruses and worms. Here's the link: http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/.
Make sure that you're using either Google Chrome or Safari too. Internet Explorer can't run HTML5 well and Firefox has some hickups with it as well but it's not too bad. Also, make sure you put in your address correctly.
Sometimes people ask me, "What are you up to Johan?" Sometimes I like to respond sarcastically, "Ehh, not too much. You know, just me and my banjo. You know, touring the country." But I have been telling Pajjar that I've been wanting a banjo lately. I wonder if you can rent them from Schmitts? I really want to learn how to play one and try to even lead worship with it. I think it'll be interesting.
Just read this out of Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology:"One day by God's grace we may have churches full of Christian who can discuss, apply, and live the doctrinal teachings of the Bible as readily as they can discuss the details of their own jobs or hobbies-or the fortunes of their favorite sports team or television program. It is not that Christians lack the ability to understand doctrine; it is just that they must have access to it in an understandable form. Once that happens, I think that many Christians will find that understanding (and living) the doctrines of Scripture is one the their greatest joys.
Amen...
Wow... I feel like a little kid watching this! I love Jonsi's music! Probably one of my favorite albums of 2010. Letscolourproject.com is such a cool organization.
