It depends on how a church uses it’s time. Some use it to teach the Bible, rightly divided and comparing Scripture with Scripture. Others use their time to turn wafers and wine into the “Body and Blood” of Christ. I’m sure that leaves very little time for actually reading what the Bible says. And learning how to become effective workmen who need not to be ashamed when they stand before God. You know, being ambassadors for Christ, sharing the good news of the gospel of your salvation. And preaching the reconciliation of God and man through Christ.

No, when I’ve been in Bible Study Groups, and I’m in one now, we actually study the Bible.

I guess it’s a compliment that some other groups obsess over the Church; and, I’m grateful that I have yet to be in a Bible Study that deemed modernist ideas such as Dispensationalism worth spending time on.
