There’s An “App” For That
October 2, 2010
Remember when phones were for making phone calls? With the advent of the smart phone, what was once a way to talk to someone has become a storehouse of data. Add cell-phone applications (computer programs) to that, and you can read sports reports, play games, plan trips, find an apartment—or any of well over 100,000 other tasks available with an “app.”
That’s pretty amazing, but the “apps” for phones are nothing compared with the kind of “apps” Scripture gives us. The “applications” of the Bible are direct notes from God telling us how to apply the truth of His Word to all of life.
Take Philippians 2, for instance: The unity app (2:2), the humility app (2:3), the no-grumbling app (2:14), the shine-as-lights app (2:15). Or look at the apps of Ephesians 5: The imitate-God app (5:1), the walk-in-love app (5:2), the purity app (5:3), the tongue app (5:4). And the book of Proverbs? It’s teeming with applications.
You don’t have to wait for someone to offer these on the Internet. Just open the Bible and see the hundreds of ways to apply Scripture in your life. Got a question about the Christian life? Search the Bible. The answers are there, waiting to be discovered.
Cling to the Bible; this jewel and treasure
Brings life eternal and saves fallen man;
Surely its value no mortal can measure;
Seek for its blessing, O soul, while you can. —Smith
The Bible has treasures of wisdom for you—read it and apply it!
Read: Ephesians 5:1-7
Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge. —
Proverbs 23:12“That’s pretty amazing, but the “apps” for phones are nothing compared with the kind of “apps” Scripture gives us. The “applications” of the Bible are direct notes from God telling us how to apply the truth of His Word to all of life.”

Great devotional today, once again.
The Holy Bible tells us about God, how to please Him, what He hates, how we are to live to have a blessed life, and very importantly tells us All about God. How He acts, thinks, and behaves. With the History of the world, and has the answers to ever question imaginable, how he wants us to be blessings, to others, to be faithful to God, promises He makes to those that love Him and are obedient to His Word, with examples or righteous men, Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, David, and others. We are without excuse ...

“Romans 1:18-20 (King James Version)
18.For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19.Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”
