So where's the balance then? I don't think this is telling us to stop studying the Bible altogether (at least I hope not), because some "head knowledge" is very important. How do we balance the time spent learning and the time spent doing?

I think the idea is to study and read for edification, but your focus in life is to live what you read instead of turning into a Pharisee who just live by the laws and are judgmental towards others.
I have found that some so called "scholars" tend to puff themselves up and think they are holier than thou because they know so much like greek and hebrew, etc. Yet they don't seem to attract people to the church, but instead take pride in their own "knowledge".
