Sola Scriptura: A Beggar Before the Book

We live in an age of instant experts. If you don't know how to fix a leaky faucet or cook a perfect steak, then a quick internet search will give you a tutorial in seconds. Because of this, we hate admitting when we don't know something, and we fiercely protect our independence. But what happens when we bring that same "I can figure it out myself" attitude to the Bible? When we refuse to ask for directions in our spiritual lives, we end up arrogant, confused, and missing the heart of God entirely.
