I think it actually backfired on you. I don't think you are interpreting these verses correctly. As I said, I don't think they are about austerity. I think they are about depending on the Lord for your support.
The Lord is saying,
If you serve me in ministry, you are worthy of support. You don't need to bring your own things because I'm going to be supporting you.
Do you really think the Lord is saying his servants are only worthy of scant necessities?? In some cases, as Paul said, we should be content with them. But that's a far cry from saying that's all we're worth. I just don't think that's what Matthew 10:10 means at all. I think you've got it all wrong.
Ball backfired back into your court.
