Is it really a problem to use our favorite verses out of context? How do you avoid making a verse say what it doesn't say?

We all have verses that we quote regularly. But are we sure we understand them? Does the meaning we give them correspond to the intention of the Holy Spirit? Who has never heard the verse in a prayer meeting, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am among them"? You may be surprised to realize that this is a misinterpretation!
