I have always thought the idea of using Sola Scriptura to reject a present tense God speaking to your hearts and minds a bit strange on a forum where I have received in excess of 15 references to read works other than the Bible.
Straw,

Obviously, you have either no understanding or a misunderstanding concerning the doctrine of "Sola Scriptura". The doctrine re-established by the Reformers and that which has been held by all consistent Calvinists since their day has been that Sola Scriptura is the "sole and final authority in all matters of faith and practice". However, Sola Scriptura does not preclude the insightful teaching of that written Word of God nor such documents as the Ecumenical Creeds nor the great Confessions and Catechisms which flowed out of the Protestant Reformation. In fact, Sola Scriptura establishes secondary authorities, not prohibits them.

For more on the historic Church's position on Scriptura, specifically "Sola Scriptura" see here:
