I believe if we don't look for context in scripture, then there is a risk that we would use scripture incorrectly to justify our actions.

I've known people who likely used it to justify their actions knowing themselves to be wrong. The movie The Book of Eli demonstrates this concept pretty well with Gary Oldman's character. The scary part is that no one else will call them out because they were too busy to understand their Bibles. Awful feedback loop.

Agreed needless to say.
 
I just finished Passion&Purity by Elisabeth Elliot, great book! and I'm currently reading Tortured for Christ and Revolution In World Missions. Both books are eye-openers , they talk about missions and share true stories about people who have shared the gospel in communist(Tortured for Christ) and third world (Revolution In Wolrd Missions) countries. Even thought I haven't finished them I reccomend them!
 
I am.trying too finish whatloveisthis by dave hunt..also am.almost finished with primal by mark batterson...and have started one the prayerful spirit by james p.m. gills m.d
 
Currently reading the Case for Christ... kind of interesting, journalists take on investigating the evidence of Jesus.

Also halfway through the wheel of time series, haven't read anything on that in about a month though, probably should before I forget everything. lol... it's ok... only 5000 pages to go.
 
I"m not much of a book reader but I recently read a book called "When GOD writes your love story" and I have to say it was pretty fantastic. It really struck me on several different levels, and I would recommend it for anyone single and wanting to prepare for marriage.
 
Just finished reading The Circle trilogy by Ted Dekker. After debating over if I should read it for a couple of years, I decided to download the three books when I got a kindle. THE BEST BOOK SERIES I HAVE EVER READ!lol
