MR No. 367 - Competitive Sports in Adventist Schools
文稿发布-第06卷-第19章
在青少年中间,对足球赛和其它同类自私满足的强烈爱好一直发挥着误导的影响。警醒祷告和天天献身于上帝没有得到保持。与上帝交谈和交流乃是心灵的生命。亮光被蒙蔽,撒但很喜欢让这种印象传开:尽管圣灵为我们的高等院校、出版社和教会行了奇妙的事,他们还是退后为试探所胜。撒但和邪恶的工人给上帝投下阴影,使祂的名受羞辱。……{6MR127.1}[1]

Among the youth the passion for football games and other kindred selfish gratifications have been misleading in their influence. Watchfulness and prayer and daily consecration to God have not been maintained. Converse, communion with God, is life to the soul. The light has been beclouded, and it was well pleasing to Satan to have the impression go forth that notwithstanding the wonderful work of the Holy Spirit in behalf of our institutions of learning, and the office of publication and the church, they fell back to be overcome by temptation. Satan and evil workers cast reflection upon God, and His name has been dishonored. . . . {6MR 127.1}[1]

教师们本应该有智慧听从圣灵的指示,继续前进,恩上恩加,带领年轻人充分利用所赐的亮光和恩典。他们本应该教导青年知道,大量赐予的圣灵是要帮助他们利用自己的光阴和能力为主作最高的服务,宣扬那召他们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。可是许多人非但没有这么做,反而更加热衷于寻欢作乐。有目击者在娱乐场,天上的生灵在上帝的案卷上记下了许多人在每一个作为都要显明的日子不喜欢面对的交易。不仅有天上的信使在场,撒但一会的人也在场,因他精明的方法在很大程度上挫败了上帝赐下圣灵的意图而欣喜若狂。上帝希望带领青年前进上进,以便他们能凭经验理解灵感使徒的话:“我们是与上帝同工的,你们是上帝所耕种的田地,所建造的房屋”(林前3:9)。有多少在运动会中展示自己资格的人能配得上这句话呢?……{6MR127.2}[2]

The instructors ought to have had wisdom to follow the indications of the Holy Spirit, and go on from grace to grace, leading the youth to make the most of the light and grace given. They should have taught the youth that the Holy Spirit, which was imparted in great measure, was to help them to use their time and ability to do the very highest service for the Master, showing forth the praises of Him who had called them out of darkness into His marvelous light. But instead of this, many went more eagerly in pursuit of pleasure. There were witnesses upon the pleasure-grounds, heavenly intelligences that made the records in the book of God of transactions that many will not care to meet in the day when every work shall be manifest. Not only were heavenly messengers present, but the synagogue of Satan were on the ground to exult that his ingenious methods had in a great measure thwarted the purpose for which God gave the Holy Spirit. God desired to carry the youth forward and upward that they might understand by experience the words of the inspired apostle, "We are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building." Of how many who exhibited their qualifications in the games could this be said? . . . {6MR 127.2}[2]

要利用上帝委托给你的资金去武装和装备人们加入主的军队,作耶稣的精兵。要教他们知道,纵容青年可能提出的每一个心血来潮的想法,并不会帮助他们在基督徒经验上长进。自私的满足乃是我们青少年的网罗和咒诅。他们的才能被误用。通过错误的想法,父母、朋友和监护人——花钱支持他们上学的人——设法满足他们的欲望,为要照他们所以为的使他们快乐。这种做法正在阻碍他们的道路,鼓励自私的放纵,阻止他们进入朝向天国的窄路。但愿主恩膏瞎子的眼,使他们能看见!{6MR128.1}[3]

Use your God-entrusted capital of means to arm and equip men to enlist in the army of the Lord as soldiers of Jesus Christ. Teach them that it is not the indulgence of every whim which youth may suggest that will facilitate their growth in Christian experience. Selfish gratification is the snare and curse of our youth. Their abilities are misapplied. Through erroneous ideas parents, friends, and guardians-- whose money supports them in the school--seek to gratify their desires in order, as they suppose, to make them happy. This very course of action is blocking their way; it encourages selfish indulgence; it prevents them from entering the narrow, heavenward path. O that the Lord may anoint the blind eyes, that they may see! {6MR 128.1}[3]

青年们没有牢记:为基督的缘故克己背十字架应成为他们宗教经验的一部分。他们认为接受供养和教育,花钱满足他们自私放纵的欲望是完全正当的。存在的危险是这些可怜的人永远不会明白舍己背十字架跟从基督和作耶稣基督的精兵忍受艰苦是什么意思。他们会象风中的芦苇。要让青年考虑到他们是在藉着今生塑造的品格来决定自己来生的命运。……{6MR128.2}[4]

It is not impressed upon the minds of the young that self-denial, cross-bearing for Christ's sake, is to be a part of their religious experience. They think it all right for them to be sustained and educated, and to spend money to gratify their desires for selfish indulgence. There is danger that these poor souls will never understand what it means to follow Christ in self-denial and bearing the cross and to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. They will be like a reed in the wind. Let the youth consider that they are deciding their own destiny for eternity by the characters they form in this life. . . . {6MR 128.2}[4]

天上的生灵正等着与人合作,按照那神圣的样式重塑人的品格。人是愿意做上帝所赐的工作,还是愿意竭力按照世俗的模式塑造自己的品格呢?见林前1:3-8:你们仍是属肉体的,因为在你们中间有嫉妒、纷争,这岂不是属乎肉体、照着世人的样子行吗?有说:“我是属保罗的”;有说:“我是属亚波罗的。”这岂不是你们和世人一样吗?亚波罗算什么?保罗算什么?无非是执事,照主所赐给他们各人的,引导你们相信。我栽种了,亚波罗浇灌了,惟有上帝叫他生长。可见栽种的算不得什么,浇灌的也算不得什么;只在那叫他生长的上帝。栽种的和浇灌的,都是一样,但将来各人要照自己的工夫得自己的赏赐。(《信函》1893年47号,3,5-9页,致W.W.普雷斯科特,1893年10月25日)1974年4月16日发表。{6MR128.3}[5]

The heavenly intelligences are waiting to cooperate with the human agent in reshaping his character according to the divine model. Will the human agent do his God-given work, or will he bend all his efforts toward shaping the character after the worldly pattern? See 1 Corinthians 1:3-Letter 47, 1893, pp. 3, 5-9. (To W. W. Prescott, October 25, 1893.) Released April 16, 1974. {6MR 128.3}[5]
