In the early 90's this was a teaching of W. Lee in the context of the so-called "high peak" theology. He taught us that improved vocabulary and theology made our experience of Christ richer.
During this period of time Lee's ministry and teaching was in a state of serious decline. He had just smeared the reputations of many godly men and excommunicated them for exposing Lee's immoral and abusive son Philip who was running LSM at the time.
W. Lee made a similar comment about the Lord's Table meeting stating, "the better the picture, the better the reality."
Seriously? "Better" bread and "better" wine made for a better remembrance of the Lord?
I doubt.
