EPISODE 0143 | Woke Mirage: Biblical Justice
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0143
Not all justice is the same. In this episode, Pastors Stephen and Nate kick off a two-part conversation about the difference between biblical justice and social justice. While social justice often redefines truth based on human agendas, biblical justice is rooted in the unchanging character of God. This conversation lays a strong foundation for how believers can think rightly about justice in a confused world.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ The definition of biblical justice according to Scripture.
✔️ How social justice differs from God’s standard of justice.
✔️ Why impartiality is central to true justice.
✔️ The dangers of toxic empathy and shifting moral standards.
✔️ How Christians can hold onto truth in a confused culture.
Key Scriptures:
📖 Micah 6:8 – Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.
📖 Isaiah 1:17 – Learn to do good; seek justice.
📖 Leviticus 19:15 – Do not show partiality in judgment.
📖 Proverbs 31:8-9 – Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Biblical justice is rooted in God’s character, not human opinion.
🔹 Social justice often promotes partiality and redefines truth.
🔹 God’s justice is impartial, personal, and restorative.
🔹 Christians are called to uphold God’s definition of justice without compromise.
