Knowing a lot of Bible, memorizing large sections of Scripture, studying immense swaths of holy writ – this is all well and good, even desirable, but it does not follow that those with the most well-worn Bibles or oft-visited Bible passage websites will live the most saint-like lives. A Sunday school teacher can be a bully; a child in Vacation Bible School who knows only “Jesus went about doing good” can be a lighthouse to the lost. There is a difference between a life padded by scripture and a life formed by scripture.
