    Christians have all kinds of opinions about what preachers should do in their congregations. But what does God want those who enter the pulpit ministry to focus on? What is the "main thing" that these men should devote themselves to?

    There’s an old saying: “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” We’ll come back to that in a moment.
