The purpose of the Word of Wisdom is to offer a starting point in discipline for the weakest of Saints or those that would call themselves saints. You are very correct about many members that think they have finished the journey if they do the minimum. Justice hit the nail on the head – the spiritual wisdom does not come by doing the minimum but will come “line upon line upon line and precept upon precept upon precept” for those the evolve in their discipline become “whole” and “holy” in their discipline. The minimum does not make a saint but for most of us it is a beginning well worth the journey.
