Sometimes Less is More 2

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.
