A Troubled Mind And An Open Door | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

I woke up early this morning so before I did my my Abide and Encounter meditations I watched a video on youtube by Steven Futrick called A Troubled Mind And An Open Door. 

In the beginning of the video he said Text without Context is Pretext

Text (a book or other written or printed work, regarded in terms of its content rather than its physical form.) 

Context (the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood.) 

Pretext (a reason given in justification of a course of action that is not the real reason). 

So I didn't know what he meant so i google it and I found this link which was helpful...A text without a context is a pretext for making the Bible say what you want it to say!  But sincere, humble faith in God respects the meaning of a biblical passage in its context
