The Heart and the Mind
Doing Good Things, the Right Way
Ken Barnes
But when they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark. Then the Lord’s anger was aroused against Uzzah, and he struck him dead because he had laid his hand on the Ark. So Uzzah died there in the presence of God. (1 Chronicles 13:9-10 NLT)
David had good intentions. The Ark of the Lord had not been honored King Saul’s reign, and David did not want to do the same. Good intentions are not enough. The work of the Lord must be done not only through good means but right ones. We can follow our hearts without exercising our minds and have disastrous results.
In I Chronicles 15:13 it is recorded, “Because you Levites did not carry the Ark the first time, the anger of our Lord burst out against us. We failed to ask God how to move it in the proper way.” David learned a very difficult lesson on how to accomplish the purposes of God. He assumed he knew how to do it without first asking God.
While today we do not need to fear God striking us dead, self-sufficiency is of the flesh and can defeat the very work we are attempting to do to serve God. It can also be the source of a multitude of sins.
It appears to me that people in the Church today fall under two categories. Those who emphasize the truth, exercising their minds, and those who dwell on the spirit and follow their hearts. The is a need for both as Jesus said that we must worship in “spirit and truth,” but not one at the exclusion of the other. If I might paraphrase what I heard someone say; All truth (mind) and no spirt and you dry up. All spirit (heart) and no truth and you blow up. Spirit and truth, and you grow up.

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity.
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time.
