"If there is one thing worse than the modern weakening of major morals, it is the modern strengthening of minor morals." — G.K. Chesterton, On Lying In Bed
The only thing worse than minoring on the majors is majoring on the minors. To elevate a secondary thing is idolatry, but to reduce a primary thing is blasphemy.
You must give primary focus to foundational things. If you neglect them, the whole house falls down. Throw pillows cannot hold a house up, but being overly interested in them can cause a house to fall down.
