He certainly is blessing it’s use to the saving of souls.

Many fundamental Bible believers simply don’t have time to thrash around in the mud with “scholars” because they are just too busy winning the lost to Christ.

Grady mentions Gypsy Smith, who crisscrossed the Atlantic Ocean forty-five times in his quest for souls. He was too busy winning the lost to spend time critiquing their Bibles. The roving evangelist summarized his antipathy for the world of intellectualism, remarked:

“I didn’t go through your colleges and seminaries. They wouldn’t have me . . . but I have been to the feet of Jesus where the only true scholarship is learned” (Ed Reese, The Life and Times of Gypsy Smith (1880-1947), Christian Hall of Fame Series, no. 8 (Glenwood, Ill.: Fundamental Publishers, 1975), 12.

And he mentions that Lester Roloff was more interested in expounding “Dr. Law and Dr. Grace” than to spend time listening to Dr. Westcott and Dr. Hort.
