Renewing the Mind

I've recently heard about a scripture study process called S.O.A.P. The premise of this method is you take a scripture or section of scripture and you break it down by

S - Scripture (write the scripture)

O - Observation (what is it saying to you)

A - Application (how does it apply to you)

P - Prayer (Pray about it)

I really enjoy this method. It gives me direction in my studying of the Word, plus I love that I can just read the Bible and study that. Don't get me wrong, Bible studies are great! It's just that they are pointing you in a specific direction and I like that this allows me to go in any direction the Lord is leading me.  

You know how when you are reading the Word and it just pops out at you? Well, this is some of that. The scriptures may be really random, but other times they are sequential as I'm focusing on one book of the Bible.  

I share these with you in hopes you will join me as we do as Romans 12:2 tells us...

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.  

So, let's get a good washing together.

Blessings,
