- About 3 weeks ago our 15-year-old neighbor was jumped twice
- Last week two of our brothers in the church were jumped for a cell phone...praise God neither was seriously injured and the Lord healed one of a near-certain surgery
- The day after another young man and friend of ours was jumped
- Today Aaron Ross was mugged for $1.50 from some local teenagers
Around here it's all about power and subjugation...gangs are starting up among young teenagers...mimicking the older teenagers and dealers...
This place isn't safe. Not by any means. Neither are we. We talk about revolution...here's our chance.

If we are Christians who are supposed to be God's represenatives here on earth than how come you show grace only and no justice therefore it seems that you enable the violence that so infects, affects, and effects you and us by simply doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteYou may call violence as such but if you do no action to stop it you are just as at fault as the afflictor of the violent act
