“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Matthew 17:20
“Bigger is better.” That’s the American way, even in religion. We need bigger numbers, bigger churches, bigger offerings, and bigger faith. But what if size isn’t all there is? And how did size enter into American Christian theology at all? Maybe it has more to do with the fact that it’s American rather than Christian. Jesus taught that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. It has less to do with the size of our faith and more to do with the Object of our faith.
