Episode notes
Deterrence Through Punishment
- "All Israel will hear and be afraid" refers to deterrence through punishment.
- Lack of record doesn't mean non-occurrence; if laws aren't enforced, they're ineffective.
Seeking Justice
- Seek justice when wronged, it's appropriate and aligns with God's design for government.
- Reconciling with your brother applies when you're the guilty party.
Engaging With Apathy
- When sharing faith, focus on those who show interest (those who "lift their head").
- Don't push on apathetic people; wait for a time when they're seeking answers.
