I like what Steel said; it seems that he is more focused on the person of Christ than opinions of men. Personally I like to come first to the Lord in His word to fellowship with God in prayer. Then, as time allows, I study the morning revival book. I study it the same as I study the Bible; that is by prayer and the Word. Just as in reading my Bible when I do not understand something, in simple prayer I ask God to reveal what He wants to show me.

Now the morning revival is not part of God's word, but a commentary, an inspiration, a study, a help, etc.; to help motivate us to fellowship with the Lord. Because this is what we are doing in my local church I try to focus on it. But during my week, the Lord is living and moving in me, speaking many things and the Bible is alive to me. The Lord's day meeting is only a small part of my church life. So for the most part I try to stay with what I sense is the Lord's speaking in the meeting. The good thing about my local church is that the saints have liberty to speak in the meetings. I am very thankful for this because it is what God was showing me not long after I received the Lord.

BTW, this is my first post. I just joined because a Brother I am in fellowship with thought it would be good. I will consider what to share as my testimony on this forum later.
