The Ministers of the Gospel ought to form their preaching upon this model —Ministers are not to instruct only, or to exhort only, but to do both. To exhort men to holiness and the duties of the Christian life, without instructing them in the doctrine of faith, is to build a house without a foundation. And on the other side, to instruct the mind in the knowledge of Divine things, and neglect the pressing of that practice and power of godliness, which is the undivided companion of true faith’; is to forget the building that ought to be raised upon that foundation once laid—which is likewise a point of very great folly. Leighton on 1Peter 2.11.
