Diseased Imaginations

R U OBSESSED with Modern Day Storytelling?
"But these very youth who profess to be Christians gratify the desires of the carnal heart in following their own inclinations; and God-given, probationary time, granted them to become acquainted with the precious truths of the Bible, is devoted to the reading of fictitious tales. This habit once formed is difficult to overcome; but it can be done, it must be done by all who are candidates for the heavenly world.
   
 
That mind is ruined which is allowed to be
absorbed in story-reading.
The imagination becomes diseased,
sentimentalism takes possession of the mind,
and there is a vague unrest,
a strange appetite for unwholesome mental food,
which is constantly unbalancing the mind."
Messages To Young People p.290 E.G.W.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
