"To the question, 'should one preach doctrine?' the Puritan answer would
have been, 'Why? What else is there to preach?' Puritan preachers were
not afraid to bring the profoundest theology into the pulpit if it bore
on their hearers salvation...doctrinal preaching certainly bores the
hypocrite; but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's
sheep. The preacher's job is to proclaim the faith, not to provide
entertainment for unbelievers. In other words, to feed the sheep and not
amuse the goats."
