Sustained, yet failed to equip. There is a whole thread's worth of stuff to discuss in that one sentence.

Sustained with milk...
" I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, " 1 Corinthians 3:2
" For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant." Hebrews 5:12-13
The ministry LSM publishes is focused on their perception of "the high peaks" they've completely whiffed on "elementary principles" the author of Hebrews is writing about. Verse 13 is followed up by this from Hebrews 5:14
" But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil."
