Head knowledge is not evil in and of itself. Most of our Reformed and Puritan forefathers were highly educated. The Reformers never tired of stressing the value of Christian education.

    He has a will:
    Matt 6:10 Thy will be done Rom 12:2 acceptable, perfect will of God I John 2:17 he that doeth the will of God abideth forever Heb 10:7,9 I come to do thy will
