collection.  In a large saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the virgin
olive oil over  medium heat, add onions and pancetta. Cook slowly until
onions are  caramelized and pancetta is cooked through but not crisp.
Remove to a  bowl. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the other 4
tablespoons  of olive oil. Dredge the liver in the seasoned flour and
place all  four pieces in the pan at once. Cook until quite dark brown
on one  side (about 7 to 8 minutes), moving occasionally. Turn liver
over to  the other side, and add balsamic vinegar, Basic Tomato Sauce,
onions  and pancetta, bring to a boil and reduce heat. Add wine and
mushrooms  and simmer 6 to 7 minutes until liver is medium to
medium-rare. Add  parsley, stir to mix, remove liver to serving plate,
pour sauce over  and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings.  Comments:

Five reasons why I believe expository preaching is superior to all other styles: 1. Expository preaching models and teaches the congregation how to read and study the Bible for themselves. Most Christians will mimic (in a good sense) the model they see and hear week in and week out in the pulpit. The way they see and hear their pastor approach and handle and proclaim the Scriptures will become, often unconsciously, the way they do so in their own study and devotional life. 2. Expository preaching is the most effective way to teach the content of the Bible. Exposition unpacks for people both the broad sweep of God?s activity in redemptive history and the particular principles and truths of theology so essential for growth in Christ. 3. Expository preaching is the most effective way for the preacher to learn the content of the Bible. The sort of preparatory study essential to preach expositionally enhances the preacher?s growth in the knowledge of the Word in a way that other forms of preaching do not. When one is compelled to preach systematically through a book of the Bible, the preacher finds that he must address a greater number of issues and problems than would otherwise readily spring to mind. 4. Expository preaching is a check against hobby-horse preaching. That is to say, preaching verse-by-verse through a book of the Bible guards the preacher from obsessive preoccupation with his own cherished themes, which are all too often remote from either the interests or needs of the congregation. 5. Expository preaching insures that the people of God will be fed a full, well-balanced diet of the Word of God. The Scriptures are such that consistent exposition will yield teaching on the full range of theological issues, ethics (both individual and corporate), family obligations, social responsibility, etc.
