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.
Thanks for posting, Marci! You made some good points! I like the idea of writing a Bible story in modern day. Have you written any that you would like to post? Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI started one with the story of Mary but did not finish it. maybe I could work on that if I have some extra time and then post it. That would be fun and it really helps you understand the bible:)
DeleteThat would be super if you did! I know that all our readers would love it!
DeleteLovely, thought-provoking post, Marci! :) I too get the verse of the day delivered to my inbox. Looking forward to more! Thanks for posting! =D
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed it! Yes I love getting the verse of the day, it always puts me in a good start for the morning:)

ReplyDeleteHi, Marci! Sorry I haven't done anything on here lately. However, on my other blog I started a "tag" and nominated you. I call it the "Earliest Memories Tag." I would love it if you participated! Here is the link to my post that has the questions: http://bethanyr4him.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-earliest-memories.html
ReplyDeleteJust answer the questions on here. (If you want to.) Thanks!
This doesn't need to be posted, I'm just responding to the comment that you left about a monthly thing. I think it's a great idea, but I doubt I will get to it every month. I can try though! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, it publishes automatically. Oh well!
DeleteI'd love to see it whenever you do it! (btw, this is the blog I share with a friend of mine, if you want to leave just me a comment, you can do it here: bethanyr4Him.blogspot.com)
DeleteHey Marci!
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for the Infinity Dreams Award! :-) If you're interested, you can see the full post here: http://fireflysstoryspace.blogspot.com/2016/02/infinity-dreams-award.html
I haven't had a ton of contact with Marci lately, we've both been rather busy, but if you don't mind, I might do the tag on here...?
DeleteSure, that's fine! I should've said when I posted the link that y'all could do it however you wanted. :)
DeleteAlright. I'll try to get that up (relatively) soon!
