One Thing That's Clear In

I Believe You Know Jesus Said "a Doctor Doesn't Come To The Healthy, But The Sick, And It's Not The Righteous But The Sinners That I've Come For," So I Think That That's The Scandal Of God's Love And Grace That No One Is Beyond Redemption, And We Can See That All Through Scripture, You Know.

We're Not Church Planters. We Are Community Planters And, As We Work In Our Communities, We Join Local Churches.

There Are Some  -  called 'death Fatigue'  -  people Who Just Grow So Tired Of Death, So They Don't Want To Keep Perpetuating Death And Creating More Victims And More Anger And More Pain. They Want To Heal From That, And I Think That's Exactly What God Wants To Do. And, Interestingly Enough, That's Part Of What God's Original Law Was Doing With The 'eye For An Eye' Thing. It Was Actually To Limit The Patterns Of Retaliation And Then To Begin To Heal From That.

And Since We Are People Of Expectation, We Are So Convinced That Another World Is Coming That We Start Living As If It Were Already Here.

It's Unilaterally True That It Costs More To Maintain The Death Penalty Than The Alternatives To It, And We Can Leverage More Resources To Victims Families. We Can Do All Sorts Of Creative Ways Of Healing The Pain That People Have Done By Channeling The Energy And Resources To Other More Redemptive Forms Of Justice.
