Lee taught that God's economy was His plan, His administration, His household law for His family. Lee taught that God accomplishes this plan through His sovereign arrangement and His dispensing of Himself as life and grace.
This is hardly miniscule and it is hardly baloney.

I agree except that Lee left the impression that the dispensing of life and grace was all there was to it. He tried to make the microscope view the scenic lookout view. It isn't.
Again, Lee's view was that most of Christianity had missed the dispensing of life and grace and so felt to emphasize it. He had a point. But instead of emphasizing it to Christianity he emphasized to his little group to the point that the over-emphasized it. After a few basic lessons his followers didn't need to hear about dispensing week in and week out. But eventually that's about all he knew how to talk about.
