When I was working as an RN back in SC, I took care of children who had cancer. One of our greatest concern was the child becomeing anemic-a condition which weakens the child, causing him to lack strength and vitality. In many cases, a blood transfusion is called for. In some cases, regular blood transfusions are required. IMO, regular expositroy preaching, as defined by Mark Dever- "where the main point of the Scripture is the main point of the sermon," is the best medicine for preventing a church from becoming anemic. Without preaching, she will lose her strength, vitality,and ability to glorify the Lord, becoming a shadow of what He intended her to be. Stephen, our family thanks the Lord for the faithfulness of you, Mark, and Joe to regularly preach the Gospel. We appreciate the hours of study and prayer required to feed His sheep. Know that we are grateful for and blessed by the preaching. Amen, amen, amen!
