The
other day, someone gave me a note with Nahum 1:7 printed at the top:
“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him.”
For
some reason, they neglected to include the next line, which continues the
thought from verse 7:
“But with an overflowing flood he will make a
complete end of Nineveh.”
Okay,
so maybe the fuller version doesn’t deliver quite the same Hallmark moment. And
maybe that’s the problem with how many Christians use the Bible. Christians
read (and quote) Scripture in tiny, artificial fragments all the time. And by
doing so, do we alter the meaning without even realizing it. Digital Bible apps
make it easier than ever to Twitterize
holy writ. But we’ve been doing it for ages. Read the complete article at -- http://www.faithstreet.com/onfaith/2014/04/01/five-bible-verses-you-need-to-stop-misusing/31534
