There is an expression that says, “They are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly use.” What it means is that there are people so wrapped up in the spiritual world that they have lost touch with the realities of life, and will not be of any earthly use. The greater danger, however, is that we can become so earthly minded that we are of no heavenly use. The demands of this life can become so preoccupying that we begin to think and act by the criterion of a secular world.

I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth...
