Memorizing the Bible is fun and being able to quote the Bible is really great because it means that you’ve put it into your memory and you can pull from it to help you live life. But often times we memorize verses and we take them out of context and we don’t understand the power that they can actually provide for us in the original context. In this quick video, PolitiCrossing founder Chris Widener talks to us about Philippians 4:13, which he believes may be the most misapplied Bible verse ever. Take a watch:

Philippians 4:10-13

10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
