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.

I don't see any "microscopic view" by any Christian teacher as being a serious issue. Lots of ministries are, like the
homeless ministry I just mentioned.
Your second point about condemning all of Christianity for missing out is indeed serious. This just produces Laodicea -- thinking that you alone are "in the know" about God's plan, and all others have totally missed out. This is a root of evils, perhaps the single-most destructive ingredient in the entire LRC. I think all other failures emanated from this prideful thought.
