In the World Christian discipline of Simplicity, which description is correct?

• A. Simplicity means hoarding resources to fund missions.
• B. Simplicity means living to give; ordering your lifestyle to liberate generous giving to advance world evangelization.
• C. Simplicity means rejecting all technology.
• D. Simplicity means ignoring personal needs.

Answer: (B)

Simplicity means ordering your life in a way that frees resources for generous giving to advance world evangelization. This describes living modestly so money, time, and possessions can be directed toward mission efforts rather than luxury or excess. The best description captures that outward-focused, purposeful use of what you have to support mission work, rather than accumulating wealth or comfort for its own sake. It isn’t about rejecting technology altogether, nor about neglecting personal needs; it’s about stewarding what you have in a way that enables sustained generosity. A description that centers on hoarding contradicts the practice, and ideas about rejecting all technology or ignoring personal needs misrepresent the balanced, sustainable approach that simplicity advocates.
