I believe it takes all of the Bible to make it the Word of God. I can’t cherry-pick what I want to believe. If I only hear part of the Bible, I will get it wrong and bear the consequences. All heresy is built on fragments of the Bible.

on this list.” 

Oh boy, was I in trouble? All I heard was the word “doughnut,” which got
me into trouble. 

She stood there staring at me as I looked at the list, and I did not
know what was next. Looking at her, I said, “Do you want me to return 
the donuts?” 

I never saw her look so confused as at that moment. I'm not sure you can
return donuts, but I could see she was processing the whole situation, 
and I was in a position where I couldn't help her solve this problem. 

At that time, one of our daughters stopped to drop off something in The
Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and said, “Here, would you like a 
box of donuts to take home?” 

The daughter laughingly said, “Of course I would. Thank you.” 

When she handed the box of donuts to our daughter, my wife glanced at me
with one of her smiles. I wanted to smile back but couldn't find any 
muscles on my face that could create a smile. That afternoon I was 
reading my Bible and came across a verse that encouraged me. 

“To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold,
their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word 
of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it” 
(Jeremiah 6:10). 

I believe it takes all of the Bible to make it the Word of God. I can't
cherry-pick what I want to believe. If I only hear part of the Bible, I 
will get it wrong and bear the consequences. All heresy is built on 
fragments of the Bible.
