Introduction to “right division”

Most all of our materials fall into three areas (video and audio).

1) Materials pertaining to “rightly dividing the word of truth”: these are designed to provide basic Bible comprehension by teaching the need to “rightly divide the word of truth”; to recognize the reality of Paul’s distinctive apostleship and message; to keep God’s program with Israel distinct from His program and dealings with us in this present dispensation; and the like.

2) Materials pertaining to understanding God’s program and dealings with Israel: these are designed to provide a basic understanding of what God’s program with Israel is all about, as well as a fair comprehension of the outworking of that program both in “time past” and in what is yet “to come” when God resumes and fulfills His program with Israel.

3) Materials pertaining to Paul’s epistles to and about us in this present dispensation: these, of course, are designed to deal with our own edification in God’s unique program and dealings with us in this dispensation.

Since everything pretty much falls into these three areas, there is a “logical sequence of learning” to the materials in each of these areas. Using some of the video/audio materials as an example, it goes like this:

1) Re: “rightly dividing the word of truth” it begins with the series entitled “Basic Bible Comprehension”. This is followed by “Repentance to Israel”; then “Israel’s Great Commissions and Ours“; to which can then be added, for example, “Bible Controversies”.

2) Re: God’s program and dealings with Israel, it begins with “A Short History of Israel”; then “The Benefits of Understanding Israel’s Program”

3) Re: the doctrine of Paul’s epistles to us and about us in this dispensation, it begins with the “Romans Survey”, and then is followed by a number of other studies amplifying upon establishment doctrines set forth in Romans; e.g., “Essential Doctrines”, “The Gospel of Our Salvation”; then “Justification and Salvation”; then “Our Identity In Christ“.
