What is my responsibility as a Christian toward overcoming violence? Do I yell "Stop it; violence is wrong" or do I say "Well, it's always been this way"—and try to ignore it and stay out of harm's way?
What does the Bible say on the subject of violence? And what should be our Christian response?
Romans12:21 says:
"Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good".The Message
Praying for Peace In Montgomery
1. Pray for ourselves...that we will be peacemakers instead of trouble makers.
2. Pray for others...that we will be beacons of peace in our jobs, our families and our neighborhood.
3. Pray for those who have committed crimes and are incarcerated. Pray for those who ministering there that they will make a difference.
4. Pray for our children.....that if they are in abusive situations...that God will make a way out for them...so they won't repeat the violence as an adult.
5. In our upcoming elections, pray for those who could be voted into offices that can make a difference. That they will see the root of violence and not just band aid the symptoms.
