One thing I would add to your introductory paragraph is to have more than a cursory knowledge of any ‘debate’ that your topic or passage might have. If you are going to divide on Cal/Arm grounds or speak contrary to dispensationalism or covenant theology, know both sides and consider the impact your words are going to have. The Spirit will direct us in our preparation and we are wise to heed His counsel when he points out words that will be potentially divisive. We can take a stand but must be able to express why that stand is correct in light of contrary belief.
