Are Christians Too Heavenly Minded to Be of Any Earthly Good? [Deconstructing Faith Series]

“Come heed me, my brothers, come heed, one and all
Don't brag about standing or you’ll surely fall
You're shining your light and shine it you should
But you’re so heavenly minded, you’re no earthly good”

Johnny Cash – from his song No Earthly Good

Did the man in black have it right?  Are Christians sometimes too heavenly minded to be of any earthly good?

In the last episode in our Deconstructing Faith series, we take a look at the criticism that is sometimes leveled at Christians that they can be too concerned about getting people to heaven and not concerned enough about caring for the people around them.

Join Scott and Shawn as they attempt to answer the questions:

• Is this criticism of Christianity fair?
• If it isn’t fair then what is the true focus of Christianity?  Is it getting people to heaven or helping those around us on earth?
