How To Accurately Apply The Scriptures

How can we understand and apply the Scripture to our lives? Can we take any biblical passage or verse and accurately apply them to our particular situations? Can we use and apply verses of Scripture that don't seem to apply to us today?

This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and host, Dr. Josh Philpot, discuss how to rightly go about dividing the Word of God, that we may properly apply it to our lives today. Dr. Caldwell tells us we can take any principle from any text of Scripture and make some application of the principle. However, if we haven't considered the original context of the passage, then we haven't even understood the principle correctly.
