THERE'S AN
"APP" FOR THAT

READ:
Ephesians 5:1-7

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 Ephesian 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. __Dave Branon

************Today's Bible Reading __ Ephesians 5:17**************

1 Therefore be imitators of
God as dear children. 2 And
walk in love, as Christ also
has loved us and given
Himself for us, an offering
and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet-smelling aroma.

3 But fornication and all
unlceanness or
covetousness, let it not even
be named among you, as is
fitting for saints; 4 neither
filthiness, nor foolish
talking, nor coarse jesting,
which are not fitting, but
rather giving of thanks.

5 For this you know, that no
fornicator, unclean person,
nor covetous man, who is
an idolater, has any
inheritance in the kingdom
of Christ and God. 6 Let no
one deceive you with empty
words, for because of these
things the wrath of God
comes upon the sons of
disobedience. 7 Therefore
do not be partakers with
them.

In the opening of today's Bible reading, we are challenged to
be imitators of God in the same way that a well-loved child will
imitate his or her parents. But Paul takes it a step further by telling
us that the way to imitate the Father is by imitating the Son, who
demonstrated for us what the walk of love looks like (v.21) It
evidences a heart willing to sacrifice itself to the Oe who loves us
and gave Himself for us. __BILL CROWDER
