The Greatest App
by: Travis Arrant
Today there are all kinds of apps people download to their smart phones. There are weather
apps, fitness apps, news apps, sports apps, and hobby apps. The list is endless. Many are just
for fun, but some can save your life. Examples of these are weather apps warning of severe
weather and certain health apps warning of irregular heartbeat or blood sugar or pressure
spikes.
What does app stand for? It stands for application. We have available for us today the
greatest APP ever- God’s Holy Word-the Bible. Many have the Bible downloaded on their
phones. At assembly time, folks will pull up their favorite translation as the lesson begins.
Apps and smart phones can be such a blessing in our lives if used properly.
There are two things we as Christians need to remember about the Bible. First, we must
know God’s word. 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us, “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. Second, we
must put application to our knowledge of the Word. Jesus said we are His friends if we obey
Him and that if we love Him, we will do whatever He commands (John 14:15; John 15:14).
It disturbs me that so many claim to be Christians and yet do not apply God’s word to their
lives. Jesus proclaimed by their fruits you will know them (Matthew 7:15-17). On Judgment
Day, many are going to be horrified because they did not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ
(2 Thessalonians 1:7-9).
Do not be deceived dear friends. We cannot live for God and live for the world (Matthew
6:24; 1 John 2:15,16). We cannot forsake the assembling of the saints (Hebrews 10:25). We
cannot use improper language and coarse jesting (James 3:1-12). We cannot be immoral
people (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). We cannot neglect God’s word, or our prayer lives (John
12:48; 1 Thessalonians 5:17).
What about you dear friend? Are you making proper application of God’s word to your life?
How will you answer when you stand before Jesus on Judgment Day?
Stay true to the Word,
Brother Travis
