Read as an act of worship.
以敬拜的心去阅读。
(by Joel Beeke)(乔尔·比克)
Read to be elevated into the great truths of God. Be selective about what you read, however. Measure all your reading against the touchstone of the Scripture. So much of today’s literature is froth. Time is too precious to waste on nonsense. Read more for eternity than time, more for spiritual growth than professional advancement.
阅读是为了提升自己去理解上帝的伟大真理。然而,要谨慎选择阅读的内容。用圣经的标准来衡量你所读的一切。当今的许多文学作品都是浮华。时间太宝贵,不该浪费在无意义的事物上。多为永恒而读,少为时间而读;多为灵命成长而读,少为职业发展而读。
Before picking up a book, ask yourself–“Would Christ approve of this book? Will it increase my love for the Word of God, help me conquer sin, offer abiding wisdom, prepare me for the life to come? Or could I better spend time reading another book?”
在拿起一本书之前,问问自己:”基督会认可这本书吗?它会增进我对上帝之道的热爱吗?会帮助我战胜罪恶吗?会给我持久的智慧吗?会为我将来的生命做准备吗?或者我是否该花时间读另一本更好的书?”
