More Application


When you are trying to figure out how to apply Scripture to your life, use the acrostic: S.P.A.C.E.P.E.T.S. This is a great way that Rick Warren has used in his study to make the Word come alive and be part of who you are.

There are nine useful questions to ask yourself about a passage, given in this acrostic:

S – Is there a sin to confess?
P – Is there a promise to claim?
A – Is there an attitude to change?
C – Is there a command to obey?
E – Is there an example to follow?
P – Is there a prayer to pray?
E – Is there an error to avoid?
T – Is there a truth to believe?
S – Is there something to praise God for?

Which question is God leading you to focus on this week?

Be wise today and always – focus on the truth.
