Ever seen those CSI shows where they have some low-resolution digital photo and they tell the guy working the computer, "Enhance," and suddenly you can see all sorts of detail. That's not realistic. You can't take a few pixels of data and enlarge it to make it super clear, because you just don't have enough data to work with.
We can make that same mistake with the Bible when we grab just one verse and say, "See, it clearly means..." Satan did the same thing to Jesus, citing a snippet and taking something out of context, and Jesus' reply was, "On the other hand, it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (Mt 4:1-11)
It's important (even when I'm reading and writing these) to make sure we're reading everything in context, and not playing proof-text potluck. The more information we have, the more enhanced our understanding of what God was saying will be. The only way we can enhance our image of God's intent is by expanding the data, and that comes by reading more. :)
