Amen! I think some LCers have forgotten this after speaking too much "getting out of the mind and be in the spirit". That kind of "life" became a blackhole leading everything to "be in the spirit" but nothing comes out of it, not the love that God wants -
And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.
Paul pointed out clearly in Phi 1:9-10 the importance of knowledge and discernment which are matters related to the mind.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all discernment,
10 So that you may approve by testing the things which differ and are more excellent, that you may be pure and without offense unto the day of Christ,
