Give me sincerity over carnal talent any day and all day!

Not all talent is carnal, Jason.  I find a lot of carnality in people who constantly desire to be up front, and get angry when they aren't allowed those positions. The desire for being in a position is an attitude problem to begin with. The idea is to serve the congregation with your gifts and talents in whatever capacity you are needed.
I'm usually suspicious of those who only want the spots on the platform, and those in the choir who get upset when they don't get the solo.
