You heard me! Donβt study dispensationalism, study the Bible dispensationally. Rightly dividing the Word is the key to understanding the Bible, but what do you do with a key? You donβt study it. Once you know how it works, you use it to unlock the lock for which it was designed. Well, once you understand the principle of right division, use it to unlock the Scriptures it was designed to open to your understanding.
If you are a grace pastor or teacher, donβt teach dispensationalism, βpreach the Wordβ (2 Tim. 4:2) dispensationally considered. Brother Les Feldick has done a tremendous job of reaching people with the truth of the rightly divided Word, grounding them in it, and helping them grow in it, all by simply teaching through the Bible, verse by verse, βaccording to the revelation of the mysteryβ (Rom. 16:25). The saints to whom you minister can flourish under the same type of ministry.
So whether you are a grace believer or even a grace pastor, donβt study the grace message. If thatβs all you do, you will never be able to answer the challenges our opponents raise to the truth. But the man of God who has studied every verse they cite in its context will be thoroughly equipped to βfight the good fight of faithβ (1 Tim. 6:12), βwar a good warfareβ (1 Tim. 1:18), and βplease Him who hath chosen him to be a soldierβ (2 Tim. 2:4). source
