Pithy Sayings
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Out of Context
It’s easy for us to take Bible stories, sayings, verses, out of context.
If we don't take the time to look at what else is around the particular piece of Scripture, why a particular story or parable was placed right where it is, then we can be totally misled. For example:
Matt 27:5 "So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself."
Luke 10:37 "Go and do likewise"
Or
Gen 19:26 "But Lot's wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt"
Luke 14:34 "Salt is good"
