Do sessions work at all?  Something simple, like

****************************
<?php
//a.php

session_start();
$_SESSION['test']="foo";
echo '<a href="b.php">Click me</a>';
?>

<?php
//b.php

session_start();
echo $_SESSION['test'];  // should say "foo"
?>
*************************

      ... would be a good 1st test.

If that works, I'd suspect that $row_scripture['ScriptureText']
and friends are empty.

If it doesn't, I'd suspect a combination of very strict
browser privacy settings (disallow all cookies) with lame server
config (use_only_cookies), or that session support is missing
or disabled.
