Too “Heavenly-Minded” to be any Earthly Good?
Why is it that the earthly-minded accuse those who might dare to believe and imitate God (Eph 5) with “He is too heavenly-minded to be any earthly good!”?
Sounds so “smart” and sensible, doesn’t it? It’s practical, pragmatic. “Religion is ‘good’, but it must have it’s place”, they will say. What they mean to say is that this “God business” must be subjugated to a lesser prominence than the important issues and cares of this life.
