There’s An App For That

There’s An App For That

Bible: Ephesians 5:1-7

Reading

Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge (PROVERBS 23:12).

You might not believe me, but phones used to be for making phone calls. That was it! Now we live our lives on our smartphones. With all the apps out there, what else do we really need? We can do our social media, check stuff out online, play games, listen to music, book tickets, research anything, find revision plans, connect with people and do hundreds of thousands of other things with our smartphones.

But the apps for phones are nothing compared with the kind of ‘apps’ the Bible gives us. The applications of the Bible are direct notes from God telling us how to apply the truth of His words to all of life.

Take Philippians 2, for example: the connected and together app (2:2), the humility app (2:3), the no-grumbling app (2:14), the standing out app (2:15). Or look at the apps of Ephesians 5: the imitating God app (5:1), the living in love app (5:2), the purity app (5:3), the speech app (5:4). And the book of Proverbs? It’s full of apps!

You don’t have to wait to download this stuff; or free up data for it. Just open the Bible and see the hundreds of ways to apply God’s ‘apps’ to your everyday living. Got a question about the Christian life? Search the Bible. The answers are there, waiting to be discovered.
