"For Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News—and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power." (1 Corinthians 1:17 NLT)
Paul knew who had sent him and what he was sent to do. Beyond that and more importantly, he was cognizant of the fact that the power of the message he preached was Jesus and an empty cross.
He didn't weigh the message down, slow it or restrict it's spread with smart talk and weighty theology.
I'm for keeping it as simple as it really is. Mankind was lost in sin , Jesus paid our price on a cross and then beat hell, death and the grave when he was raised from the dead. We can walk in that victory when we accept Jesus and his love for us. We can have a growing relationship with Him that is based on his love for us and our faithfulness to what he teaches us in his Word.
BOOM!
