Could a brother or sister be encouraged to function through the Bible if they did not want to use The Holy Word for Morning Revival?

This quote is precious. I love WN/WL's ministry. Many points, such as this, are insightful. However, the problem within the recovery as a whole is not necessarily that their ministry is bad (I understand that there are parts of their ministry that are questionable and disagreeable, but I'm not talking about those parts right now). The problem is the interpretation and practice of the ministry. If every member function means that we must all repeat the same thing and use the same material, then that is not what 1 Corinthians means. "Each one has" means each one has something that the Lord has given to that member (it may be through WL/WN, it may not be through their ministry). It doesn't mean we must all regurgitate what WL said. However if WL said something that helped you, and that becomes your portion, then that's fine. But to force others to speak the same and accuse them of not being one with the ministry if they don't speak the exact same language, is not what "Each one has" means.
