The loss of expository preaching

Alistair Begg writes about the decline of expository preaching:

Why is expository preaching absent from so many of today’s churches? Because of a loss of confidence in the Scriptures, preoccupation with the wrong battles, and a sad lack of excellent role models, many preachers compromise on their calling and revert to the expectations of the culture.

Mr. Begg also suggests ways preachers can reclaim exposition. (Thanks to Unashamed Workman for the link).
