Dr, Couch, dispensationalists seem to focus more on prophecy than on practical living. How do you answer?

We dispensationalists focus on prophecy because
the Covenant guys do not, and probably over fifty percent of Scripture
is prophetic! With you question I could not help but think of a
statement by John Gregory, written in 1886, from his book The Seven Laws
of Teaching. He wrote:
In the Bible more than in any other book are reviews needful and valuable. Not only does the Bible most require and most repay repeated study, but most of all ought Bible knowledge to be familiar to us, if it be, as is claimed, the Word of God. Its great truths ought to dwell in the heart and in the conscience as a divine presence; its very language should haunt the memory as echoes from the hills of heaven. Its words and precepts should rest clear and precise in the thoughts as the dictates of duty and the PROPHECIES OF DESTINY. Its grand and divine doctrines, its vital precepts, its BLESSED PROMISES, its sublime histories, and still SUBLIMER PROPHECIES, should inhabit continually the daily bread of our God-ward life.
Thanks for asking,
Dr, Mal Couch
