In many American cities, homicide is the #1 cause of death for young black men. If we care about unborn black babies, we must also care about at-risk young adults.
Lamentations 2:19 (NIV)
Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children.
Let’s lift our hands in unity for these lives.
The move to reduce incarceration rates to promote racial equality is essentially a revolving door that perpetuates crime. If you do the crime but don’t have to do the time, you’ll do it again.
We pray for changed behavior, not merely from fear of punishment, Andrew, but from a change of heart.
