Minimalism: (1927) 1: a style or technique (as in music, literature or design) that is characterized by extreme spareness or simplicity 2: MINIMAL ART-Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary 11th edition.
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
-Matthew 6:31-34 (NKJV)
We all have enough on our minds as it is. We don’t need anyone to add to it. I don’t know of anyone who appreciates being “piled on” when they’re already down. The call is to help each other carry their burdens. The admonishment is for those who add stumbling blocks to their brothers’/ sisters’ path.
There are too many things competing for our attention everyday. There are too many “faiths” to count. It’s made worse when the individual denominations are added to the mix.
