Sister Alvear,
I mean no offense to you, so please don't take this comment as being directed at you or what you did. It's just that I am in the process of re-reading "Why Revival Tarries" by the late Dr. Leonard Ravenhill. In his book, he made a statement about the cliche you used. Here's a direct quote from the book:
"Someone now warns us lest we become so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly use. Brother, this generation of believers is not, by and large, suffering from such a complex! The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use."
Again, I'm certainly not talking about you. However, I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. Ravenhill on this point. Sadly, far too many "Pentecostals" today are overwhelmingly more EARTHLY minded -- to the point that they are accomplishing no HEAVENLY good.
