It’s been said of us Christians that we can sometimes be “so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly good.” While that criticism might be true from time to time, it is certainly not true of the Bible itself. To be sure, the Bible is certainly heavenly minded, and yet it is also of great earthly good.

We’ve heard the old saying that “Life is not a bed of roses” as life has its ups and downs, and unfortunately, most of us will experience our share of hard times.
