Hello
readers! I hope you are having a good school year so far. As I am sitting here
writing this I am just glad that this blog post is not getting graded;) And I
want to apologize for not getting your guy's comments, I found out they were
going to the wrong email. So I will fix that and will respond to your comments.
Ok with all
that out of the way I am going to talk about applying biblical principles to
everyday life. So you have read the bible, you have your name engraved in the
front, and you have highlighted all your favorite verses. Now what?? I think
one of the hardest thing to do is put biblical principles into practice. A lot
of times we make the excuse that the bible does not apply to use because it was
written so long ago. We don't have to love the tax collectors or travel on
donkeys and camels to preach the gospel, we are not beaten for praying and Cesar
Augustus is only someone we read about in history. The world makes the bible
seem like a good story we only read. The bible is Gods breath speaking to us
and it is our call as Christians to use our guide book. We first need to
realize how important the bible is. Have you ever been so confused and thinking
hurt or not understanding why a
hurricane has to kills so many. The bible is our answer book.
Now applying
what you read is not that hard once you understand the bible was written for
YOU. I have a couple things that help me apply the bible to my everyday life.
1. Get a email telling me the verse of the day.
2. Reading
other Christian blog posts
3. Reading a
little of the bible everyday and thinking about it all day
4. Going to a
bible study or getting a personal study book
5. Writing a
bible story in the modern world
6. Memorizing
scriptures
It's really
reading the bible and understanding what Gods point is. you will realize that a
lot of the stories in the bible you can turn it into a lesson for your life. I
hope this will help you put biblical principles into everyday life. And I hope
you have a great November!!
P.s. I will
be working on 2 new blog posts very soon so stay posted. They will be about
Friendships falling apart and Surrendering fully to God.
