Too many times we want a closer relationship with Christ by sitting and listening rather than doing and serving.

I am all for calling out and even shaming self-righteous know-it-alls who haven't served or loved someone in their life...but love argue Bible and Theology... But...it feels like over-reaction to the point of downplaying deep thinking, shaping your mind, loving God with your mind, knowing Bible and Theology, etc. Why can't we call people to love and serve AND to grow in their knowledge of Bible, Theology, wrestle with the deeper things, learn to think critically, etc. I fear the shallowness that will remain if we tit for tat with self-righteousness by simply saying serve and love...that's a both / and and it seems like our generation of churches keep framing it as an either / or in our defensiveness. Thoughts? I can’t figure out “you are only as deep as the last person your served in the name of Christ?”
