Walk How to Apply the Bible

This book is part of a 4 book series Epic, Foundation, Context, and Walk. I didn't read them in order though lol. I started with book 4 but anyway the book was split into 4 sections.
       The first sections was on Light for My Path. This section described how important the Bible is in our lives. How God illuminates the passages when we read. This is the first step in understanding how to apply it to our lives but you also have to have a willingness to listen. Either God's Word is going to stand authority over you or you are going to stand in authority over God's Word.
       The next section was From Text to Life. This sections talks about COMA (Context, Observations, Message, Application). Context explains who was the original passage intended for? This involves looking at the historical, literary, theological, and immediate setting. The historical setting is who was the passages intended to, what was going on in that time, when, and what problem were they addressing. The literacy setting is knowing about the rules and laws in that time. The theological setting is what the rest of the Bible says about it. The immediate setting is how does the words fit into the sentence, how does the sentence fit into the paragraph, and how does the paragraph fit into the surrounding chapter.
         Observations This talks about the repeating words, phrases, themes, and truths about God. The message is the what God wants to communicate with you. He knows exactly what you need to get out of it. Another anagram specs helps you to discover this. S-sin to confess, p-promise to claim, e-example to follow, c-commandment to obey, and s-statement about God.
          Applications are personal and specific. Personal-I need to pray more. Specific-I am going to spend 10 extra minutes praying everyday. Writing down verses, and prayers helps to solidify the information in your brain. You are far more likely to put into practice everyday too.
          The next section was Coming out of a COMA. This section just took passages from the Bible and used COMA to explain them and how to really apply it.
          The last section was A Daily Discipline. This talked about spiritual growth and how to get the most out of it. Spiritual growth is not something that just happens we have to work at it. You have to go after it. But the desire and discipline comes from God. You will never consistently walk in the Word until the Holy Spirit empowers you to do so. Applying the Bible in your life takes some Godly principles. A time and place, a great Bible (I suggest NIV), a schedule of readings (devotions work the best), a notebook, COMA, and Godly role models.
