Big Things: Truth

Truth is having a hard time these days. That's not a new thing. In John 18:28-40 Pilate is confronted with the truth of Jesus. He retreats into the theoretical and misses God in the process.

Big Things: Freedom

 Freedom is a big deal - for us and for God. God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt - so they could be his own wholly devoted servants. That theme echoes through the rest of the Old Testament and into the New. Freedom is also one of our highest American values, though we need to learn from Jesus how to do it well.
