0:00.0	Welcome to Tim Minut 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. So I'm Keith Simon and I'm Patrick Miller.
0:14.0	So I'm sorry if you feel like all we are talking about is politics right now, but I think as followers of Jesus,
0:20.0	we need to speak into whatever it is we're experiencing in our cultural moment and I know that not even all of our listeners live in America and so they might be bored of hearing about American politics but that's where we live and I hope there's something
0:33.5	good to learn from what we're saying wherever you are right now.

1:24.8	that's marked out for us and we should fix our eyes on Jesus and he got the whole
1:28.6	quote right except he traded out Jesus for Keith Old glory the, the flag. And it fit in perfectly with what we were talking about and so I
1:36.6	posted it on to our Facebook page and I just asked is this a problem? Is it idolatry to replace Jesus with the flag? And my goal was not by the way to make a political statement because if you listen to the last episode we had both Democrats and Republicans who've done the exact same thing. I'm not trying to make a left or right
1:53.1	statement. I just want us to think about this Christianly, but
