God's Ministers Must Deal Faithfully with Men
Jeremiah 23:21-22
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.…


Ministers should not be merely like dials on watches, or milestones on the road, but like clocks and larums, to sound the alarm to sinners. Aaron wore bells as well as pomegranates, and the prophets were commanded to lift up their voices like a trumpet. A sleeping sentinel may be the loss of the city.
