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.
0:10.0	I'm Keith Simon.
0:11.0	And I'm Patrick Miller in our last episode we were trying to shake ourselves
0:17.1	and everybody else out of deep partisan loyalties and I have no doubt that we have probably offended people I
0:25.0	offend myself all the time you know I just like in the mirror and you're very
0:28.1	offensive I have to share an office with you yeah there's lots of things that

1:23.0	It's easy to be for justice.
1:25.0	It's really hard to figure out what justice is.
1:28.0	There are a number of theories of what makes a just society.
1:31.0	And then there's the biblical approach to justice. And so I think we as Christians
1:36.9	are trying to sort out what is just, what is right, what is fair, what is good, what is godly in the midst of a world that's
1:45.1	really confusing so a guy emailed me in our church good guy a smart guy humble
1:51.5	guy teachable guy he emailed me because he was a bit bothered
