In today’s podcast, we are focusing our sights on the vital nature of applying the Word of God to your everyday life. I ran across this superb illustration that references translating the Bible into real life. The illustration talked about how many Christian wives led their husbands to the Lord. The key is a woman willing to live what she believes in each case. A small group of men concluded their weekly Bible study on one occasion. At the time, they were sharing their thoughts about all the different translations.
The first man said, “I’ll stick with the good old King James Version. It has always been my favorite.” The next man said, “I can’t understand that old English. The New American Standard is my choice for translation.” The third man was a recent believer. “My favorite translation is my wife. Her life translated the gospel into a language I could understand.”
What a great testimony! Living out the Word in a way that bears the fruit of salvation! Leadership Ministries Worldwide, Practical Illustrations: 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude (Chattanooga, TN: Leadership Ministries Worldwide, 2003), 87–88. Your goal, your aim, the target you need to shoot at is this: is your life the best translation of the Bible? We are over in Ephesians chapter four, and we are going to look at this thought as we focus on Why Applying the Word to Your Everyday Life Is Vital, Right, and True, all in this week’s Light on Life.
