A humorous look at why context is important in Bible reading

It is important to read God's Word with our minds fully engaged. Unfortunately, too many Christ-followers rip verses out of context and make God's Word say something it doesn't actually say.

For instance, April 15th is approaching rapidly and I am a little anxious about what tax time will look like for us. I sure wish I could claim the promise given specifically to Peter...

Matthew 17:27 (New Living Translation)
Jesus said, "...go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us."

I'm going fishing! lol
