It’s ironic how often I’ve heard warnings about “being so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good”, when I can’t seem to find a scripture that substantiates this concern, nor have I ever met someone who actually fits that description.
I have met a few folks who seemed hyper-spiritual (i.e. overly fascinated by the supernatural), but I considered them to be more mystical than heavenly minded. Their excitement appeared to be more rooted in the dynamics of power, than on eternity.
On the other side of the coin, I hear almost nothing said about believers who are so engrossed in current events and the facilitation of man-made systems that they no longer have much capacity for the good news of the gospel. Sadly, I frequently encounter folks who fit this description, and the scripture clearly speaks of that issue (Rom.8:5-8, 2Cor.4:18, Col.2:8).
