" Studying the Bible, and memorizing scripture (chapter and verse), is important for a number of reasons. It helps you understand God better, it strengthens your relationship with God, it replaces the carnal pattern of thought with a spiritual pattern of thought, it allows you to see life from a spiritual perspective, it strengthens your faith, it makes your witness more fruitful, it equips you with spiritual weapons to fight against the forces of evil, it keeps your feet steady on the narrow way, and it prepares you for the storms of life. "
― Calvin W. Allison , The Sunset of Science and the Risen Son of Truth
