“Softer’s Louder”

Minimalism isn’t a fringe movement. Brand names reduced to consonants, simple logos, and simple packaging has become the norm for businesses. A limited menu – if there’s a menu at all – has become synonymous with fine dining. And instead of countless pictures on the wall, we choose one painting to allow the piece space to speak.

Minimalism has taught us that the best way to make a statement is by dialing back.

In this week’s message, the Apostle Paul, along with the sages who penned the Proverbs, teaches us that screaming tends to make people deaf to our message, while a gentle, controlled temperament has the power to pierce the noise of a chaotic soul.
