Why Context Matters
by Ronald W. Robey
(written October 26, 2025)
Context matters — here’s why:
Leviticus 27:30
• “The tithe of the land” can be twisted to mean the entire landmass of the earth, if taken out of context.
Malachi 3:10–11
• “Ye” can be twisted to mean Christians, if taken out of context.
• “Tithes” can be twisted to mean ten percent of your money, if taken out of context.
• “Storehouse” can be twisted to mean your local church, if taken out of context.
• “Blessing” can be twisted to mean an unexpected check, if taken out of context.
Hebrews 7:6–8
• “Here” can be twisted to mean the church building, if taken out of context.
• “Men that die” can be twisted to mean pastors, if taken out of context.
• “Tithes” can be twisted to mean money, if taken out of context.
• “There” can be twisted to mean Heaven, if taken out of context.
• “he” can be twisted to mean Jesus, if taken out of context.
Devotional Thought:
When Scripture is lifted out of its context, truth becomes distorted and error begins to sound convincing. Many doctrines today stand only because verses were removed from the soil in which God planted them and planted where they were never meant to grow. Truth survive when torn from its context.
If we are to honor God’s Word, we must study it in the light of who was speaking, to whom they were speaking, and under what covenant they lived. Truth does not change with opinion or popularity…it is revealed through proper context.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
