Jesus knew that violence didn’t really solve problems.  He gave this instruction, “But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. (Matthew 5:39)”

Those who know the long-term social and psychological benefits of such a small (and relatively inexpensive) Continue reading “Before There’s Another Police Shooting…”
