"He must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to confute those who contradict it." --Titus 1:9, Revised Standard Version Blog Tips & Info
From lululemon here : "When we read, another person thinks for us: we merely repeat his mental process. lululemon In learning to write, the pupil goes over with his pen what the teacher has outlined in pencil: so in reading; the greater part of the work of thought is already lululemon done for us. This is why it relieves us to take up a book after being occupied with our own thoughts. And in reading, the mind is, in fact, only the playground of another s thoughts. So it comes about that if anyone lululemon spends almost the whole day in reading, and by way of relaxation devotes the intervals to some thoughtless pastime, he gradually lululemon loses the capacity for thinking; just as the man who always rides, at last forgets how to walk. This is the case with many learned persons: they have read themselves stupid. For to occupy every spare moment in reading, and to do nothing but read, is even more paralyzing to the mind than constant manual labor, which at least allows those engaged in it to follow their own thoughts. lululemon A spring never free from the pressure of some foreign body at last loses its elasticity; and so does the mind if other people s thoughts are constantly lululemon forced upon it. Just as you can ruin the stomach and impair the whole body by taking too much nourishment, so you can overfill and choke the mind by feeding it too much. The more you read, the fewer are the traces lululemon left by what you have read: the mind becomes like a tablet crossed over and over with writing. There is no time for ruminating, and in no other way can you assimilate what you have read. If you read on and on without setting your own thoughts to work, what you have read can not strike root, and is generally lost." lululemon
