I always seek complexity, but the distinction you make between deepening and deadening is a good one. I'm thinking of Ecclesiastes /: 29 (GNB) - "This is all that I have learned: God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated." Not that the writer of that book was averse to complications himself, but he manages to express and think through these complications with great clarity. There's an example for preachers everywhere!
