Quote of the Day

I'm reading Unfinished Business: Return the Ministry to the People of God by Greg Ogden. It's required reading in my Theology IV class (Church and Last Things). Here's the quote:

The analogy has often been drawn between the way we play church and a football game. Bud Wilkinson, legendary former head coach at the University of Oklahoma, was asked, when he became head of the President's Council on Physical Fitness, "What contribution does professional football make to the fitness of Americans?" He answered, "A professional football game is a happening when 50,000 people desperately needing exercise sit in the stands watching 22 people desperately needing rest."


How true that is, especially in America. What can we do to change this?
