We need to look deeper at the problem of violence that infects our culture. Where do kids learn violence? From adults. The American justice system is by punishment: punitive justice. Punitive justice seeks revenge - best example is capital punishment. The message we are giving is that if someone harms you, you harm them back. We need to transform our understanding of justice so that it is not based on punishment, but on reconciliation. We need restorative justice. Until then, violence and revenge will plague our culture. Revenge leads to revenge. Violence to violence. Reconciliation to reconciliation.

There’s a story about two people: Adam and Eve. It’s a story about promise, fall, and redemption. Adam and Eve had everything they could ever want – and it was all good. But there were limits. They had to respect each other; they had to respect the earth and all that’s in it; and they had to respect the One who set all of this goodness into motion. Limits.
