Summary

Does the gospel have implications for social injustice? Is justice a distraction from the gospel? I have had many people ask me recently about social injustice. As Christians, we are called to live as a gospel people, and in light of recent cultural conversations on this topic some have wondered about the connection between the gospel and justice. In this episode of Signposts, I continue my discussion of this issue and consider the Bible’s instruction for Christians seeking to live faithfully in the world and in obedience to the gospel. The first part of this discussion can be found here. Listen above, and be sure to subscribe to get new episodes of Signposts as they are released.

1:06.2	we were talking about whether or not the Bible addresses questions of social injustice
1:12.4	from people who are saying well that would be a
1:14.6	distraction for us to talk about that let's instead simply talk about the gospel
1:19.3	and about disciple making and so forth but let's not talk about our place in terms of social injustice.
1:27.3	And the sort of charge that comes against anyone who does speak to issues of justice in the public arena, well that's social gospel or well that's
1:36.9	Marxism or that's whatever, the labels that people use to dismiss it.

1:50.0	What I was arguing last time is that essentially there are two questions here that the Bible poses and answers repeatedly.
1:57.0	One of those questions is who is my neighbor?
2:00.0	We talked about that mostly last time and then we introduced that second question of what is the
2:05.9	gospel and we're talking about the gospel we're talking about something that before it is good news defines what has gone wrong. What is wrong with you? What is wrong
2:18.5	with the world that you're in? And that is something that is total in terms of our depravity has everything to do.
