Visit the most dangerous and deprived parts of the planet and on the front lines you will find Christians establishing micro-credit banks, staffing hospitals and schools, drilling wells, and housing refugees. Those who invest their hope in an unseen world prove it by their actions in this world. They strive not to be so heavenly-minded as to be of no earthly good and not to be so earthly-minded as to be of no heavenly good. They live, in other words, as citizens of two different kingdoms, putting feet to Jesus’ prayer that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- Philip Yancey (emphasis mine)
