"What's The BIG Idea?"

We are all looking for a BIG idea....the one that will change everything. The BIG idea that will make our marriage work better, improve the relationship we have with our kids, our friends and our boss.

BIG ideas shape our thoughts, our lives and our world.....even our politics.

What is the BIG Idea?

For most of the second half of the 20th century, 4 Big Ideas shaped world politics:

1) Peace is better than war.

God has a BIGGER IDEA: Personal Peace.

Psalm 4:8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD make me dwell in safety.

2) Capitalism is better than socialism.

God has a BIGGER IDEA: Personal Wealth

Proverbs 24: 3-4 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

3) Democracy is better than dictatorship.

God has a BIGGER IDEA: Personal Freedom

John 8:36-37 Jesus said, "I tell you most solemnly that anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave. A slave is a transient, who can't come and go at will.

God’s Son, though, has an established position, and the run of the house. So if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.

4) Western culture is better than all the rest.

God has a BIGGER IDEA: Personal Equality

1 Corinthians 8:5-6

⁵For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), ⁶yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

APPLICATION: BIG ideas are great. God has BIG ideas that will revolutionize our lives like the Ford revolutionized transportation. Get a hold of God and His BIG idea for your life.
