SIMPLIFY

“SIMPLIFY”

The Power of Keeping It Simple

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be SINGLE, thy whole body shall be full of light.

(Matthew 6:22 KJV)

1. SIMPLICITY IS FREEDOM, DUPLICITY IS BONDAGE

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

(2 Corinthians 11:3 NKJV)

1. SIMPLIFY BY REDUCING LIFE TO FAITH & FACTS: LIMIT THE DRAMA

When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

(Proverbs 16:7 NKJV)

1. SIMPLIFY BY ESTABLISHING BOUNDARIES: AN UNKEPT PROMISE IS DISHONESTY

But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” be “No.” For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

(Matthew 5:37 NKJV)

1. SIMPLIFY BY ENGAGING QUALITY: LIVE SIMPLY & DEEPLY

Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice.

(Proverbs 16:8 NKJV)

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.

(Proverbs 17:1 NKJV)
