To be balanced in the pulpit, we must be balanced in the study because sermons flow from reading, mediation, and internalization.

His study will be balanced because of the design of his sermons. Some lessons will be instructional, others convicting, some corrective, additional ones will be comforting in nature while others will be inspirational.

His study will be balanced because of the nature of the content and subject matter of his sermons. He must preach sermons from every major subject and category (the Godhead, the Holy Scriptures, the church, Christian living, the home, last things, sin, salvation, religious error, attitudes, apologetics, etc.).

His study will be balanced because of the methodology of his preaching. Some will be topical, others will be textual, while others will be expository.

His study will be balanced because of the applicability of his preaching. His sermons will need to be delivered to each and every age group, covering each and every spiritual developmental level, and each and every changing vicissitude of life.

His study will be balanced because every book/section of the Bible will be covered.

His study will be balanced because the Bible will be covered from every angle and approach. He will study the Bible testamentally, dispensationally, periodically, schematically, bibliographically, biographically, and prophetically.

His study will be balanced because there will be a blend, an amalgamation, an appropriate measure of emphasis on/or between contrasting emphases. Using accommodating language, there will be the contrasting emphasis between the devotional and the doctrinal, the positive and the negative, the meat and milk of the word, the theological and the practical, the goodness and severity of God, the human and the divine side of salvation, etc.
