It is difficult for us to believe this--that less can be more.  Society hypers and supersizes everything. We've always been told that bigger is better.  Go big or go home!  If it is not over-the-top, then why bother?We swim in a sea of gluttony.There is an out-of-this-world economy to live by.  Its policy manual reminds us:

  • You see that widow there dropping in those two copper coins? Yeah, she put in more than the others (Luke 21:3).
  • You mean to tell us that it is not like a sequoia, or an oak, or even a pine, but a mustard seed! (Matt 13:31).
  • This is amazing! How can these uneducated commoners be doing what they do? All they know is what that false teacher taught them! (Acts 4:13).
  • I would like to write a book about the men who planted the Church in Antioch. What an amazing Church! What were their names again? (Acts 11:20).
  • Not many of you were...not many of you were...not many of you were (1 Cor 1:26-28).

Yes, sometimes less is more.
