“C. S. Lewis countered the accusation of heavenly-mindedness when he wrote: “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.”15 On another occasion he stated: “If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.”
