City Violence

In the city of Chicago we’ve had more than our share of violence. Since the start of the school year numerous kids and teenagers have been shot (some killed and others survived), and then there was the weekend of April 22nd. Over the course of the WEEKEND there were 36 reported shootings and 9 homicides - in ONE weekend!

What’s the solution? Is it tougher gun laws? Probably not. Is it righteous indignation? Closing our eyes to the problem and ignoring it or embracing it as a norm of city life?

Here’s my pastors thoughts on violence in the city.
