六月十五日父母当劝导自己的儿女

Parents to Counsel Their Children, June 15

“我儿，恶人若引诱你，你不可随从”（箴1:10）。{RC180.1}

If sinners entice thee, consent thou not. Proverbs 1:10. {RC 180.1}

作父母的应鼓励儿女信赖父母，向他们倾诉自己心头的愁闷，和日常的小苦恼及磨难。这样，父母就会同情他们，为他们祈祷，使上帝护庇及引导他们。父母应向他们指明那万无一失的“良友”及“顾问”。祂能体恤他们的软弱。祂也曾凡事受过试探，与我们一样，只是祂没有犯罪。{RC180.2}

Parents should encourage their children to confide in them and unburden to them their heart griefs, their daily little annoyances and trials. If they do this, the parents can learn to sympathize with their children, and pray for them and with them, that God would shield and guide them. They should point them to their never-failing Friend and Counselor, who will be touched with the feelings of their infirmities. He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. {RC 180.2}

撒但引诱儿女向父母缄默，而选择一些年幼无经验的同伴作为知己。这种同伴非但对他们毫无帮助，还会给他们出坏主意。{RC180.3}

Satan tempts children to be reserved to their parents, and choose their young and inexperienced companions as their confidants; such as cannot help them, or give them good advice.... {RC 180.3}

如果儿女们愿意多多亲近自己的父母，就会避免许多罪恶。父母当鼓励孩子们乐意向他们敞开心扉，把自己的难处告诉他们，在孩子们不知所从的时候，将所遇到的事情向父母倾诉和请教。{RC180.4}

Children would be saved from many evils if they would be more familiar with their parents. Parents should encourage in their children a disposition to be open and frank with them, to come to them with their difficulties, and when they are perplexed as to what course is right, to lay the matter just as they view it before their parents, and ask advice of them. {RC 180.4}

有谁能象虔敬的父母那么理解并指明他们的危险呢？从婴孩时开始，母亲就注意到他们心中的每一转机。她熟悉他们的天性，最适宜劝导他们。有谁能象母亲那样，在父亲的协助下，看出儿女品格的哪些特点是应加以约束和抑制的呢？{RC180.5}

Who are so well calculated to see and point out their dangers as godly parents? Who can understand the peculiar temperaments of their children as well as they? The mother who has watched every turn of the mind from infancy, and is acquainted with the natural disposition, is best prepared to counsel her children. Who can tell as well what traits of character to check and restrain as the mother, aided by the father? {RC 180.5}

作儿女的基督徒必要重视敬畏上帝之父母的喜爱和嘉纳，超过世上的一切福惠。他们会敬爱并尊荣自己的父母。他们人生的主要课程之一应是学习如何使父母快乐。在此叛逆的时代，凡没有接受正确教育和训练的儿女，并不觉得自己对父母有何责任。……{RC180.6}

Children who are Christians will prefer the love and approbation of their God-fearing parents above every earthly blessing. They will love and honor their parents. This should be one of the principal studies of their lives. How can I make my parents happy? Children who have not been disciplined and received right instruction have but little sense of their obligations to their parents.... {RC 180.6}

忙碌的手和脑，没有功夫去听仇敌所提议的各种试探；但闲懒的手脑，却是十分好受撒但的控制。人的心思若不予以正用，就会想到不当的事情。父母应教导儿女，闲懒乃是罪恶。（ST.1878.6.6）{RC180.7}

Active hands and minds do not find time to heed every temptation the enemy suggests; but idle hands and brains are all ready for Satan to control, and parents should teach their children that idleness is sin.—The Signs of the Times, June 6, 1878. {RC 180.7}

上帝要祂的赎民达到完全，建造完美的品格。父母们特别需要明白教育儿童的最佳方法，以便与上帝合作。大人和青少年都要按照他们在家中的表现用天上的天平来衡量。一个在家里的基督徒，就是在任何地方的基督徒。家庭中实施的宗教，会发挥不可估量的影响。（5BC.1085）{RC180.8}

The Lord requires perfection from His redeemed family. He calls for perfection in character-building. Fathers and mothers especially need to understand the best methods of training children, that they may cooperate with God. Men and women, children and youth, are measured in the scales of heaven in accordance with that which they reveal in their home life. A Christian in the home is a Christian everywhere. Religion brought into the home exerts an influence that cannot be measured.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 5:1085. {RC 180.8}
