0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.9	answering questions that you're asking. A lot of these are coming from our
0:18.4	Facebook page so if you follow 10 minute Bible talks on Facebook you can ask questions that you want us to answer or vote
0:26.2	on questions that other people are asking.
0:29.8	Noah Mulvaney went to our Facebook page and he asked the question can Christians get tattoos.
