It seems to me, that more and more, my old church is drifting from the real meat of the Scriptures and moving towards emotionalism.
So often today it seems to be one extreme or the other. The other side of the coin is a church where sound doctrine is intellectually embraced but the heart is totally unaffected.The result is a church as cold as ice and as dry as dust.
I would suggest that to:

"......love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." (Mark12:30-31)

will mean that our doctrine must affect our minds and our hearts.
