It is just as important to be right in the heart as well as the head....

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. - James 3:13-15

And to contrast the Spirit in the heart and the Word in the mind...

Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. - Numbers 10
Metaphors...

First Trumpet - The Spirit
Second Trumpet - The Word
Whole Piece - They never take two opposing views
The Assembly - Church service
Journeying - Direction and order of service

First Trumpet - As in....
*** The song service
*** Worship
*** Praise
*** The Holy Spirit
*** Prayer Meetings
*** Spiritual fruit - The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22-23
***Spiritual E/c2 - Spiritual Energy (warmth, love, motivation) / Spiritual Light (faith, hope, charity, joy)

Second Trumpet
- As in....
*** The Ministry of the Word
*** The Preacher or Evangelist
*** The Circuit Rider or Exhorter
*** Christ Jesus
*** Bible studies

I have known of many who think they have arrived doctrinally, but there is very little in the heart to make them effective. At one point the Lord declares...

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: - Isaiah 29:13

I have a preacher who thinks he has arrived with his Masters degree from Liberty University. But... There is little that draws people to church and the attendance is but a few. In talking it over with him he blames the problems over a lack of dedication.

I have put together a video that RW Schambach preached contrasting the ministry of the Word and the Worship....
