Balanced Study in the Gospel Ministry

Not to read or study at all is to tempt God; but to do nothing but study is to forget the ministry; to study only to glory in one’s knowledge is a shameful vanity; to study in search of the means to flatter sinners is a deplorable prevarication; but to store one’s mind with the knowledge proper to the saints by study and prayer, and to diffuse that knowledge in solid instructions and practical exhortation,—this is to be a prudent, zealous, and laborious minister.
