Booth Saved Lincoln – Featured Article for October 18 2026
By Neal Pollard / January 2, 2026
Admittedly, the very title might offend some people, but it is the truth. Of course, context helps.
A Story That Needs Context
To clarify, it was Edwin Booth, not John Wilkes. Likewise, it was Robert, not Abraham, Lincoln. At the time, Edwin and Robert were among customers buying passage on a sleeping car in Jersey City, New Jersey. Suddenly, Robert lost his balance and fell into an open space between the train and the station platform. In fact, by all accounts, he would have been crushed and likely killed if Edwin had not seized him and quickly pulled him out onto the platform.1
Why Context Matters
Indeed, context can be very helpful. Without it, however, we can draw some erroneous and even fatal conclusions. In fact, this is especially true with the Bible, a book many may know a little about but neglect to study with depth and purpose. As a result, many people base doctrines and conclusions on statements taken out of context.
For example: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
“The Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart” (Exodus 9:12; 10:20; 14:8).
“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated” (Malachi 1:2–3; Romans 9:13).
“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13).
“Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20).
Read the Surrounding Verses
First, sometimes the content of a verse is understood better just by reading the verses before and after it. For example, that is the case in Acts 16:31 and Matthew 18:20. For example, in Acts, Paul and Silas teach the jailer about Jesus and that faith includes repentance and baptism (16:32–34). Similarly, in Matthew, the subject is not worship, but church discipline (18:15–18).
Consider the Broader Context
Second, sometimes a statement needs to be understood in light of the broader context. For instance, that would be the case regarding Pharaoh and Esau. Specifically, the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart through the plagues, causing the Egyptian king to rebel against God’s will and choose pride over penitence. Likewise, in the case of Esau, as Paul explains, the idea is God’s sovereign choice. Nevertheless, God was not unjust. Instead, He had a purpose for choosing Jacob over Esau (Romans 9:11).
Look at All the Bible Says
Third, sometimes a statement causes us to look deeper into all the Bible says about the subject. For example, consider the idea of calling on the name of the Lord to be saved. However, rather than salvation by confession only, the Bible teaches what is involved in calling on the name of the Lord. For instance, Ananias taught Saul that this is done when one is baptized, washing away sins (Acts 22:16).
Handling the Word Accurately
Therefore, when we are studying the Bible, we must always do so contextually. After all, it makes the difference in the conclusions we draw. Above all, God expects us to handle His word accurately! (2 Timothy 2:15). So, may we be the best Bible students we can be.
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” – 2 Timothy 2:15

READ THROUGH THE BIBLE IN A YEAR
This is the Daily Bible Reading Schedule for SEPTEMBER, 2026. The daily readings are taken from the Gospel Gazette website.
Thanks to a generous gift from Jerry and Carol Thompson, we now have a Life Vac Home Kit in the First Aid cupboard in the kitchen. This simple suction device can help clear a blocked airway when someone is choking and standard first aid has not worked.
Please take a moment to note where it is kept. In an emergency, call 911 first and follow standard choking rescue steps. The Life Vac is intended only as a second-line option if those steps fail. Instructions are included with the kit.
Please remember…
Our Seniors – Remember all of our senior saints, with special prayers for those who are homebound.
Our Families – Pray for families raising children in today’s world and for those carrying the heartache of loved ones who have wandered from the faith.
Our Shepherds – Reuben Lacuata and Brunel Merilus, as they lead with wisdom and care.

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” — Acts 17:11 (KJV)
Would you like a clear, book-by-book path through Scripture—at home, on your phone, or in a small group?
BibleTalk.tv offers a free series called Study the Entire Bible, taught by Mike Mazzalongo. It is designed to help believers move through the whole Bible with structured, easy-to-follow lessons.
The series is an in-depth study of every book of the Bible. On the website it currently includes 435 lessons, beginning with Genesis and continuing through the rest of Scripture. New Testament books are available as complete video classes. Old Testament studies are also included, with additional books still being added. Lessons are presented in a clear, practical style so both new Christians and long-time students can grow in understanding and faith.
Why this is worth using
• It walks through the Bible book by book instead of jumping from topic to topic. • Lessons are free. There is no subscription. • You can watch video, listen to audio, read transcripts, and use discussion material. • Lessons can be downloaded for later use, even without internet. • You can track your progress if you create a free account. • The material may be played, downloaded, taught, and shared for non-commercial use.
This makes the series useful for personal study, family devotion, class preparation, or small-group discussion.
