Defying Gravity

What does it mean to live in an elevated culture? What does Paul mean when he says to think about things of heaven not of earth? The truth is that you will never be able to soar if you don't first lay down what is weighing you down. There are some things that you just cannot take with you and God is asking you to see things from His perspective; from above. You can only see things from above if you first defy gravity.
