Colossians IV: Impractical Stuff

Colossians IV

 

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.  (Colossians 3:2 ESV)

 

Impractical Stuff

 

It is popular to accuse some folk of being “so heavenly minded they are no earthly good.”  I think I understand this accusation, but adherence to this concept can actually be spiritually dangerous.

 

When we are earthly minded, earthly motivated, earthly comfortable, our minds no longer attach to Christ.

 

In fact, every thought, every word, every deed needs to be heavenly aimed.

 

In fact, every thought, every word, every deed needs to be founded on things above.

 

In fact, every thought, every word, every deed needs to be focused on things above.

 

In fact, every thought, every word, every deed needs to be understood in the light of things above.

 

In THAT way… be more impractical!
