“ The question here is how the life of the mind relates to treasuring Christ - how thinking relates to joy in God. I would state it like this: right thinking about God exists to serve right feelings for God. Logic exists for the sake of love. Reasoning exists for the sake of rejoicing. Doctrine exists for the sake of delight. Reflection about God exists for the sake of affection for God. The head is meant to serve the heart.
