Head knowledge, void of heart influence, is the bane of the present day - Robert Hawker

"And, added to what is there said, I would just remark, that the expressions here made use of by the Apostle, of confession with the mouth, and belief in the heart, very decidedly shew, that Paul considered those principles as living principles, not floating merely in the understanding, but influencing the mind and conscience. Head knowledge, void of heart influence, is the bane of the present day. Thousands, it is to be feared, are resting in a name to believe, while virtually dead beforeGod. Paul saith, it is with the heart (not the head) man believeth unto righteousness. And elsewhere he prayed for the Church, thatChrist might dwell in their hearts by faith,Ephesians 3:17." - Robert Hawker, commentary on Romans 10:5-13
