“你要以宣读……为念”（提前4:13）。{FH.81.1}
仇敌深知人的思想很容易受所吸收之事物的感染。他竭力引诱青少年及成年人去阅读故事、小说和其它的书刊。那些屈服于这种试探的人不久就必厌烦纯正的读物。他们对于查考圣经更无兴趣，而道德力也必因之衰弱；罪恶愈久愈不显为可憎了。不忠的表现逐渐增加，对于实际人生的职责，也日益感到厌倦。思想一经败坏，对于任何含有刺激性的读物便急不暇择了。……
凡令人厌烦查考圣经的读物，虽不至断然使人遭受误导和败坏，仍应加以避免。因为主的话乃是真正的吗哪。人人都当抑制那对不足为精神食粮之读物的欲望。因为你们的思想若为这类读物所盘据，就无法以清晰的悟性去作上帝的圣工。……{FH.81.2}
你们不妨问问自己对那些轻浮读物的体验？你们在阅读这种读物之后，还能够再翻开圣经有阅读生命之道的兴致吗？你们岂不发觉上帝的圣书已索然无味了吗？……{FH.81.3}
为求具有健全的思想和纯正的宗教原则，我们必须借着读经与上帝保持交往。圣经指明得救的道路，是我们追求更高更美生活的向导。其中所记载的历史和传记，是有史以来最有趣也最具教育意义的。凡没有因阅读小说而致想象力腐化的人，必能发现圣经是一切书籍中最有兴趣的书。{FH.81.4}
要毅然决然地抛弃一切无价值的读物。这种读物不能加强你们的灵性，反而会将那足以败坏想象力的情绪输入头脑之中，使你很少念及耶稣，也很少注重祂宝贵的教训。……{FH.81.5}
圣经乃是最宝贵的书。你如果喜爱上帝的圣言，一有机会便查考它，就可获取其中丰饶的宝藏，准备妥当行各样善事，于是你就可确知耶稣正在吸引你归向祂自己。——《时兆》，1906年6月13日。{FH.81.6}
What Are We Reading? March 10
Give attention to reading.?1 Timothy 4:13.?{FH 81.1}[1]
The enemy knows that to a great degree the mind is affected by that upon which it feeds. He is seeking to lead both the youth and those of mature age to read story books, tales, and other literature. Those who yield to this temptation soon lose their relish for solid reading. They have no interest in Bible study. Their moral powers become enfeebled. Sin appears less and less repulsive. There is manifest an increasing unfaithfulness, a growing distaste for life’s practical duties. As the mind becomes perverted, it is ready to grasp any reading of a stimulating character....?{FH 81.2}[2]
Works that do not so decidedly mislead and corrupt are yet to be shunned, if they impart a disrelish for the study of the Bible. This Word is the true manna. Let all repress the desire for reading matter that is not food for the mind. You cannot possibly do the work of God with clear perception while the mind is occupied with this class of reading....?{FH 81.3}[3]
Question your own experience as to the influence of light reading. Can you, after spending time in such reading, open the Bible and read with interest the words of life? Do you not find the Book of God uninteresting? ...?{FH 81.4}[4]
In order to have a healthy tone of mind and sound religious principles, we must live in communion with God through His Word. Pointing out the way of salvation, the Bible is our guide to a higher, better life. It contains the most interesting and most instructive history and biography that were ever written. Those whose imaginations have not been perverted by the reading of fiction will find the Bible the most interesting of all books.?{FH 81.5}[5]
Resolutely discard all worthless reading. Such reading will not strengthen your spirituality, but will introduce into the mind sentiments that will pervert the imagination, causing you to think less of Jesus and to dwell less upon His precious lessons....?{FH 81.6}[6]
The Bible is the Book of books. If you love the Word, searching it as you have opportunity, that you may come into the possession of the rich treasure that it contains and be thoroughly furnished unto all good works, then you may be assured that Jesus is drawing you to Himself.—Signs of the Times, June 13, 1906.?{FH 81.7}[7]
