223 – The Bible as a Verb with Polly Castor

The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus

223 – Have you ever thought of the Bible as a verb?
All too often we think of the Bible as a source for our beliefs, our theology, and our faith. But have you ever looked at the Bible through the lens of the action items that need to be on our daily to-do list?
This week, I talk to my wife, Polly Castor, about the Bible as resource for how we are to behave, what we are to do, not just what we're supposed to believe.
Polly shares LOTS of Bible action items, things we need to do, like:

• Obey the Commandments
• Let your light shine
• Love your neighbor as yourself
• Be reconciled to one another
• Edify one another
• Sing unto the Lord
• Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness
• AND so many more

Polly makes a practice during her Bible study to keep track of all the things the Bible instructs us to do.
She sees these action items as tools in her spiritual toolbox. When someone is demanding or really needs her attention, she practices patience.
If there's a misunderstanding with a friend or family member, she takes out the "be reconciled to each other" tool and works toward healing the situation.
You get the idea.
You'll love the practical wisdom and humor Polly brings to living the Bible in her daily life.
