Application and Understanding

From the Word of God, which is the Bible comes teachings that are to apply to our lives, we are to renew our minds and believe and be a doer of the Word, instead of being a hearer only. Today I want to talk about a principle of application and understanding about how we see the practices and methods that we find in the early church when we apply them to the church today.
There are teachings in the Word, then there are practices and methods in the Word, and from the teaching of the Word we will can have practices and methods, then there are practices and methods that come from the early church written in the Holy Word of God, which is the Bible. There can be teachings that come from these practices and methods that come from the early church that we can apply in the church today.
From the teaching of the Word of God come principles that we are to apply with grace. Then there are principles that can come from the practices and methods that come from the early church that we can apply in the church today with grace.
However, these practices and methods that come from the early church may grow, procreate in their application to the church today, and methods may changes and we may have better ones today since the early church was not prefect, and the Lord has brought restoration and progression to the church, and church that we will have become will be more better and more glorious then early church in the Book of Acts; these practices will come from Word.
Notwithstanding, there are principles, practices and methods that the early church has that we are to apply them; these are ones that are clear in the Holy Scriptures.
Nevertheless, We must understand principles, practices and methods of the early church are not absolutes, they can ether be interpretations, deductions and even beyond these, which we should not build upon. There are the gospel essentials and then there are non-essentials, which is where principles, practices and methods are under.
Notwithstanding, we need to study the practices of the early church and begin to be led by the Holy Spirit in how to apply them for their better then the ones that we have today, they didn’t come from God, instead from man, and it is time to teach these practices and give application of them, so that we may see their fruits and even better fruits then of the early church.
