The disciple-making discussions in module 7 revolve around the concept of Application. Assignment #1 in this module was especially helpful in this explanation. The crucial points to remember in Application is to examine what the ancient texts mean to us today...in other words, to examine the texts in a modern light, and see how/what/if we need to apply it to our lives today. (That does not mean to alter the truth of course, but in the example of eating pork, we can determine that we no longer apply that to our modern lives.) As Dr Smith said, "All was written FOR us, but not all was written TO us."
