The Essential Art of Application, Pt. 2
By Louie Marsh, 7-10-2019
Brief Overview of part of last week:
WHY is application so important?
How Life Change Happens
1, My beliefs must change before anything else can,
2, My mind changes when I repent. Metanoia = change of mind, turn around, about face.
3, I don’t change minds, but God Word can and will!
4, Changing the way I act is the RESULT of repentance.
HOW CAN I APPLY THE WORD TO MYSELF?
In other words – use the Application Bridge.
Then – Now – Timeless Principles
Interpretation – Implication – Personalization
Example: The Trinity (episode 114)
Example: Romans 14

Principles:
1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. Romans 14:1 (ESV)
4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. Romans 14:4 (ESV)
10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; Romans 14:10 (ESV)
6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. Romans 14:6-8 (ESV)
5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. Romans 14:5 (ESV)
12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. Romans 14:12 (ESV)
13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. Romans 14:13 (ESV)
14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Romans 14:14-19 (ESV)
22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. Romans 14:22-23 (ESV)
