"You have the scriptures, which serve you not as maps but as a compass."

When, like Abraham, you are called to go out, not knowing where you are going: 

“You have the reality of the living Christ himself as your north star.
You have the scriptures, which serve you not as maps but as a compass.”

—Thomas W. Gillespie (1928-2011),

President of Princeton Theological Seminary 1983-2004,
June 2, 1986 commencement address
