Beginning of the End - Ellen G. White

Satan is always at work trying to pervert what God has spoken,
to darken the understanding and lead people into sin. God is
constantly seeking to draw them close under His protection, so that
Satan may not use his deceptive power on them. God has stooped
low to speak to them with His own voice, to write with His own
hand the living law committed to humanity as a perfect guide.
Because Satan is so ready to turn the heart from the Lord's promises
and requirements, great effort is needed to anchor them firmly in the
mind.
The facts and lessons of Bible history should be presented in
simple language, adapted to the understanding of the young. Parents
can interest their children in the variety of knowledge found in the
sacred pages. But they must be interested themselves. Those who
want their children to love and reverence God must talk of His
goodness, His majesty, and His power, as revealed in His Word and
in the works of creation.
Every chapter and every verse of the Bible is a communication
from God to us. If studied and obeyed, it would lead God's people,
as the Israelites were led, by the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar
of fire by night.
