Too Heaven Minded To Be Any Earthly Good

Last Sunday as I sat in church listening to the pastor preach, he said something that made me think. Something that I believe has been a topic amongst people and their friends for ages. He said "Some of y'all are too heaven minded to be any earthly good", meaning some people act too religious. He was referring to the people who can't have a conversation with you without mentioning God or what He has done for them lately. The people who believe they can't drink or dance or talk to people who aren't "saved". Ultimately, his point was this, you can be religious without being too religious. Don't talk about it, be about it. People should know you're Christian by your actions, you shouldn't have to mention God and all that He's done in order for people to realize you're Christian. If all you do is talk about God, church, and Christianity, people aren't going to want to be around you. And if you're in the dating world, that can be an INSTANT turn off. I'm not saying that in order to find a mate you have to pretend NOT to be Christian, but I am saying you need to learn to relax a bit. Live a Christian life, be true to the Word of God, but DON'T shove your religious beliefs down the throats of the people you meet. Dig this, Jesus had general conversations with people, he even befriended people who weren't saved. We should all strive to be more like him each day. Do you think there's a such thing as too religious? Do you know someone who is too heaven minded? Do you think you can show people how much of a Christian you are without talking about it all day everyday?
