APPLICATION


While teaching school I learned many things about how to make sure students retain information.  When you are teaching you can be a surface teacher.  You can teach about your subject and it go in one ear and out the other ear.  But is this what we want the lesson to do?  Of course not, we want students to absorb the material, retain it and use it.  When we teach something the right way we are teaching to the application level.  This is where students really understand the material and know where and how to use the information. 

As adults we are no difference than students in a classroom when it comes to church.  We can go to church, sit in a pew and listen, but this doesn’t make us a better person.  What makes us spiritual Christian people is when we take what we have learned and apply it in life.  It is when we do what we hear from scripture, use the knowledge and put it to work.  It is then that we are truly faithful people. 

So I question you today, are you just listening to God or are you hearing Him?  There is a difference.  Apply what He is surrounding your heart with and peace with envelop you. 

Have a great day!
