Are We Twisting Scripture Without Realizing It?

“God’s Word heals; it was never meant to be used as a hammer.” Have you ever heard a verse used in a way that just didn’t sit right? In this conversation, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about how easy it is to twist Scripture—sometimes unintentionally, sometimes to prove a point—and why that can be so damaging. From cherry-picking verses to using God’s Word as a weapon, the girls unpack how context, humility, and love matter more than winning an argument. This episode is a gentle but honest reminder that the Bible isn’t a book about us—it’s a book about God. When we read Scripture to understand His character instead of just looking for validation, everything changes. God’s Word is meant to heal, guide, and draw us closer to Him, not push people away. 3 Things to Remember The Bible is about God first, not us. When we start there, we’re less likely to twist Scripture to fit our own agenda. Context matters more than convenience. Reading the whole counsel of Scripture helps us recognize truth—and spot counterfeits. God’s Word is a tool for healing, not harming. Scripture is meant to be used with humility, love, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.
