Starting Simple

“God created – but didn’t give away – the world and everything in it.

Jesus redeemed – but didn’t excuse – you from sin’s effects.

The Spirit emptied – but didn’t waste – God’s bounty of gifts on you and the rest of God’s people.

A theology of simple living starts with the proposition that everything you have, every ability you name, and every relationship that comes your way – all equip you for your primary role in life: to praise God and serve God and the people God has always loved.”

– from Starting Simple: Conversations about the Way We Live by Bob Sitze.
