On this side of eternity, what would move a man to give up his freedoms and live a life of service? Pastor Bob Gray brings to life a principle in the Old Testament that shakes the presuppositions of our culture and motivates us to plumb the depths of strength available through genuine love. How will we use our liberties? Will we shrink down small within a “circle of mirrors”? Or will we echo the grateful servant and plainly say, “I love my Master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free” (Exodus 21:5)?
