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.
0:10.8	I'm Jensen Holt McNair.
0:16.7	There's a new movie on Netflix. It's called Do Revenge. And the movie follows these two teenage girls as they do each other's revenge on the people
0:21.8	who have hurt them the most. It's a dark comedy, with over-the-top
0:26.0	antics and tons of people loved it. It topped Netflix's charts and it was watched for 42.5 million hours in a week. I'm sure people loved it for many
0:37.6	reasons but if you're going to settle in and watch a film titled Do Revenge you're probably in it because you like watching movies about

1:54.9	Saying a biting comment to your spouse because they hurt your feelings and you want them
1:59.2	to know how it felt.
2:01.1	Or not texting a friend back because they forgot to invite you to a hangout and you want
2:05.6	them to experience the loneliness and rejection that you felt.
2:10.2	We take justice into our hands all the time. We exact our own small forms of revenge even if it isn't as explosive as the movies.
2:20.0	And unlike the movies, it often leaves us feeling more lonely and sad than before.
