Putting God's Word into Practice!

I recently ran across a great blog post about applying the Bible to life. I have cut and pasted the opening thoughts of the blog in hopes that it will motivate you to read the whole thing. It's good stuff! From Desiring God Ministries . . . 
We all want to be “doers of the word, and not hearers only” (James 1:22).
"Who wants to feel the failure or share in the shame of being pegged like one “who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror . . . and goes away and at once forgets what he was like” (James 1:23–24[2])? It would seem like Bible application is an essential spiritual discipline to consciously pursue every time we encounter God’s word — but that depends on how we define “application.”
The key question we need to answer is what effect should regular Bible intake have on our hearts and lives — and how does it happen?"
IF you would like to read more on this topic of applying the Bible to our lives, please click here. You won't be disappointed! 
Thanks for stopping by . . . and SEIZE THE DAY by knowing an living the Word of God!
