In this episode, we talk about an important verse that was misused in Mark's past. More than that, we talk about how to tell if a verse is being used correctly. The verse in question is Jesus' teaching that if you want to save your life, you must lose it (Matthew 10:25). We really do hope you save your life...by surrendering it to Jesus.

To properly understand a verse in the Bible you have to figure out what it meant to its first audience. You do that with an ancient book the same way you do in an ordinary conversation. Context. We all hate having our words taken out of context. God doesn't like it very well either. We hope this helps you read the Bible better.
