"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength": that sounds wonderful! What things? Become a champion footballer? or a nuclear physicist? or a super model? or a rich tycoon? or the next president of my country? After all, the text says "all things," doesn't it? So why should we limit God? Something tells us that there must be a fault in this interpretation, or else there would a superfluity of footballers, nuclear physicists, super models, and rich tycoons. But many Christians don't think very carefully about this. That's not only a problem; it is a tragedy. For God intends his Word to be understood. . . In Texts Outside of Context, some of the most influential voices in the Church today, analyze some of the Bible passages that are most misunderstood on our day. . . If we heed the message of this important book, we will not only pay more attention to contexts and improve our understanding of God's holy Word, but we will also honor God by taking his Word seriously and growing in Christian discipleship.
