Exodus 22:6

About this episode
We live in an age that prides itself on its sophistication, but in reality, it is an age of spectacular irresponsibility. We have perfected the art of blaming our parents, our society, our genetics, our environment, and anything else we can find to avoid looking in the mirror. When something goes wrong, the first instinct of modern man is not repentance, but a lawsuit. It is not to make things right, but to deflect, deny, and dispute. We have become a culture of victims, which is another way of saying we have become a culture of children. Into this morass of excuse making, the law of God cuts like a clean, sharp blade. The laws we find in Exodus are not abstract platitudes for flannelgraph Sundays. This is divine case law, given to a real nation to govern their real, earthy lives.
