This week Pastor Devan taught from Jesus' famous challenge to "love our enemies" in creative non-violent ways. There may be no greater example of this counter-cultural resistance than the Civil Rights Movement led my Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In his book "Strength to Love”, Dr. King delivers one of the most profound statements on the heart behind his non-violent movement.
This movement put into tangible action what Jesus was really getting at in Matthew 5:38-44.
Turning the other cheek, giving our coat, and going the extra mile aren’t commands to sit passively or allow abuse to continue but are ingenious ways to confront the evil that exists in the word without fighting fire with fire.
