The Art of Habitual Reading

The greatest lesson we can teach children is the art of habitual reading; especially to read properly and thoroughly the holy bible. In this way, children could begin to learn why we are a sick people existing under an insane society.

Consider sick messages from the bible as written by inspired authors of God: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” John 1:15

Or such unhealthy militaristic messages from our loving and kind Savior, the Prince of Peace, the Almighty Son of God Jesus who declared in Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me."

During my grade school and high school years at De la Salle, we were not allowed to read to bible. We were not also allowed to read Jose Rizal’s Noli and Fili. Other than books sold to us for class usage, we are not allowed to read the so-called “bad books.” In fact, we were taught mostly and mainly how to be active in prayers, not creative nor imaginative or even to be inquisitive as readers.
