Amen.
In real estate, they say there are three important criteria: location, location, and location.
As with scripture, it should be: context, context, and context. So many people repeat what Jesus said about casting the first stone, but never read further (or have never read) what He says right after that.
Thanks again.

Hey, it's Sunday Schools fault!
They have 'memory verses', little nuggets of wisdom that tend to vaccinate against entire Biblical truths.
One of my hardest things to do, as a Small Group Leader, is to get folks to read the Bible!
"I just KNOW that (whatever the statement or saying) is in the Bible somewhere!" is ANOTHER toughy: kinda hard to prove a negative, so I merely challenge them to find it and we'll definitely discuss it.
