Keeping Scripture in Context (Part 1)

A Fresh Wind Midweek

Send us a text

We live in a soundbite world where things are often taken out of context, or worse, twisted into meaning something the original authors never meant. The ramifications for this are often devastating. Unfortunately, many of us are guilty of approaching Scripture the same way, taking verses out of context or twisting them to fit our worldview or bias. While there are certainly those that do this intentionally, many Christians have simply never been taught how to accurately "handle the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).
In Part 1 of Keeping Scripture in Context, Pastors Tim and Ryan discuss the three basic approaches to studying Scripture and what to look for when choosing a Bible translation.
