What happens when we read and use Scripture in ways that are different from what God had in mind? When we no longer turn to God's Word in order to listen for God's own intentions, what happens is that even if we continue to use the Bible, we replace God's purposes with our own. We may use the Bible to underwrite and give authority to our own opinions or to the topics which interest us, or to criticize others with whom we disagree.

So, please beware of quoting Scripture without understanding God's own intentions.

I am watching Unlocking the Bible series by David Pawson from Youtube. It helped me to know the Bible better. Glad to share with all.
