Scripture as Solace

"I used to study this book so I could impress you with how much I knew; I study it now because I'm dying.

I used to study this book so I would know systematic biblical theology; I study it now because sometimes I'm so guilty I can't stand it!

I used to study this book and memorize the Navigators program of verses so you would go, "Wow you're spiritual;" I study it now because I'm going through change and it hurts and I'm scared to death.

This is the place where I never get lied to. This isn't a religious book. It's a map!"

-Steve Brown, Perimeter Church, 2010
