The New Untouchables

Resources are everywhere, self-help, experts and assistance. Whatever you need there's someone there to help...well that is to say that almost every need has a resource. The one glaring omission seems to be those resources to help gang members move away from the life.

We see the glamorous initiatives to "stamp out gangs", there's “wars on gangs” and politicians making noises but when it comes to providing real support to allow people to re-build their lives there are very few resources. What few there are tend to be church organizations working in their communities and they make a difference but as far as a national co-ordinated approach there appears to be nothing. The need for a national organization is crucial. Whether this would be a single organization or a network of separate organizations makes little difference. What counts is the opportunity exists for those wanting to leave gangs to be provided the opportunity to move away from their communities and gang affiliations if that's what they desire.

Now of course this is not the whole solution the person wanting out has work to do. Channelview one of our team puts it like this:

“Change your life. Change the way you dress, so you don't look like a banger. Change the way you act -- you may not realize it, but to some extent you act, and react, like a banger. In short, change everything that might make someone think you are a banger. They will stop associating you with gangs, and the gang problems will leave you alone.

Many people think that just by moving somewhere different, they can get away. But, without realizing it, they take with themselves the same attitude, dress and mannerisms that let others know they are gang-affiliated. So, even though they are trying to avoid trouble, trouble finds them.

A friend of mine was a banger on the northwest side of [a major American city]. He moved to the south side, deep in a rival gang's country. Nobody knew him in the new hood, and his homies from the old hood wouldn't go to that part of town. He changed the way he dressed, talked, acted. He started going to church, got married. Today, he's a devout Christian, happily married with kids, his wife has a nice job, he's going to college, and his job as a security guard allows him to study on the clock. Now he can kind of joke about his past.

Get with Jesus, and ask Jesus to show you the way. Jesus will be happy to show you how to get out of trouble, because He hung on a cross exactly to get you out of trouble."

So beyond suggesting we need a national resource we have strayed into the politically incorrect area of inviting Jesus in to resolve the problem. Einstein suggested that a problem cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created it. The number of gang members who are down with Jesus and have experienced transformation and healing in their lives are so numerous as to provide definitive evidence that "a life without Christ is a life that's not fixed."

The beauty of the involvement of Christ is that those ex-Gs who are saved then return to minister in those areas where gangs are prevalent and in contrast to suited politicians or college educated "experts" these ex-Gs have been there, know the reality of the streets and are able to speak to those still involved in a way that gains respect and achieves results.

The lack of resources addressing helping gang members suggests they are the "New Untouchables". For those who may not be familiar with the term, in Indian society the untouchables number around 160 million people and by their birth at this level of society they are considered impure, unclean and almost inhuman. To some extent gang members are considered in the same way. They are a "menace to society" a "threat" but we are missing the point. We are grouping individuals together in a way that strips them of humanity and identity and places them in a faceless group: "Gang Member". This is as convenient as it is dismissive. It's works for statistics but it doesn't work for seeing the pain, heartache and loss for individual gang members. We don't see the longing for change or a better life when we look at a statistic, we just see numbers.
Part of the reason for this is that it is very hard to look into the eyes of pain. When we see suffering we are duty bound to relieve it. If we don't see the individual we don't have to deal with that. The uncomfortable truth is not visible and hey presto there's no problem. It's then an issue that can be addressed by strong arm legislation.

How long can we let this continue? From a moral and societal viewpoint addressing the problem should not wait a moment longer. If we are being selfish about it, providing resources to help people out of gangs will reduce crime, improve neighborhoods and give hope to kids. If we care about the problem and see the day to day suffering we cannot stand by without trying to help.
It takes strength to be gentle and kind. We don't need a “war on gangs” we need to show people involved with gangs that there are alternatives, that there are people that care and are there to help. Suppressing a problem is ineffective. It increases pressure, it does not resolve the underlying issues, it does not reduce gang membership. It promotes a siege mentality that proves to be the ideal recruiting ground for gang membership and provides a steady stream of new recruits.

Gang members feel a sense of isolation. For many that's the reason they join: no family, no support network. The lack of support mechanisms that are caring and offer positive alternatives simply re-enforces this feeling.
While starting at the grass roots will be most impacting and involving ex-gang members the most productive as always it comes down to resources. Will the politicians have the courage and foresight to seek resources for groups that have no economic power, are not a potent or identifiable voter group and who society as a whole deems undesirable? Thus far it would appear not but as gang membership spreads beyond its inner city confines into white neighborhoods and country towns the problem will then present itself as a clear and present issue that will demand attention from voters that do possess the necessary political clout. Bu legislating under pressure rarely produces the best results.

So you're reading this, maybe you're in the media, maybe you have a voice, maybe you're even involved in the political process. It's time to look beyond the angle of a story, your career and getting re-elected and face a problem that is growing exponentially while at the same time seemingly attracting fewer and fewer resources. It's time to examine an issue in a way that identifies its victims, and yes in many ways gang members are victims, as people and not statistics. What are you going to do?

We need a national network of organizations aimed at showing love to gang members, resourcing their desire to change and not trying to crush them in their current situation, which for many is borne out of poverty of choice. The death toll is staggering, and the costs to the judicial and penal system huge. The old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." is so instructive in this instance but the problem is “the new untouchables” as represented by gang members are not visible to much of the population, not a "worthy" or vocal special interest group, not consolidated into a unified bloc and frankly invoke fear and misunderstanding when viewed as a whole.

People are dying everyday. Can we save just one? And then another? Are we crying in the wilderness? Are you going to listen to the voice of the millions suffering? Write your politicians. Write news stories about the bare truth. Support local organizations doing meaningful work in your communities. And next time you see someone who you think may be gang affiliated show them a little love. Don't turn your eyes away. Don't pretend they don't exist. Don't treat them like "The New Untouchables."

Revenge

A lot of messages and mails we get concern revenge. Getting back at someone for something they did either to you or to someone you know. The thinking being if they hurt me I'll hurt them and then we're even. But it doesn't work that way. Instead of ending the cycle it escalates it and goes on and on causing more pain, hurt and destruction.

So as we get asked so often we thought we'd take a look at the Bible to see what it says about revenge.

Romans 12:19 hits us with "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

Some old English there so what's it saying? Well, it says don't take revenge yourself but leave room for the anger of God in the situation. He says at the end that revenge is God's alone and he will repay it.

As tough as it makes it for us it means we need to step away from the situation and let God deal with it. He sees what goes on, he sees the wrong that has been done and he is capable of giving out righteous justice. At the same time we are blameless and have acted in a Godly fashion.

When the temptation for revenge comes on you step back and think, pray to God and tell him about the situation and then leave it in God's hands. He has promised to take care of it.

Romans 12:17 says "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men."

Do not pay back evil for evil, do what is lawful in the sight of men.

Proverbs 25 has a lot to say about how to treat your enemy and turn it to your benefit.

25:21 If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:

25:22. For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.

Romans 12:21 is almost the same "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. "

Strange as it seems this calls on us to bless our enemies. The "heaping coals" is not a punishment but means not only feeding your enemy but giving him the means to cook also.

It's an easy thing for us to love those we like, loving someone who has done us wrong is tough but it is what we have been called to do...

By behaving in this way we not only leave revenge to God but we give our enemies pause to think and the opportunity for them to reflect on the wrong they have done and begin to make change in their lives.

We see the cycle of violence on the streets every day we see the way things are going right now it will never end. Change starts with one person and goes from there. Revenge is not ours and is never the way to go. It's down to you.

Can you break the cycle and bring peace?

Gangsta Love 2 Every G by Minister Maurice

All gangstaz in the world know this, that God Loves You and have a purpose for your life. The reason why you’re still standing today is because God loves you, and want to use you to save many lives. Because you know real life, you can help all of our seeds to have a better life then that which we have been living. In a time when it seems like there is no more love in the world, God is moving in the Power of His Love to those that have suffered by the hand of man. Yes you are over looked by society, but you have not been over looked by God. He just wanted to show you hell before Heshows you Heaven, and I'm not talking about just when you die.

From Malcolm X to DMX, God has been moving to open the eyes of street folkz, to show us that our only help is in God. True Spit homie, God is taking Gangstaz, Pimps, Prostitutes, and Drug Addicts, and raising them up for His Glory. Yeea, those that have suffered from unrighteous opposition is being raised up, while those that have misused righteous opportunity is being brought down. Preachers, Priests, Politicians, Police, and even Presidents are being revealed today like never before. That shows us that God is turning thangs around, as He said He would in the BIBLE.

Vegas is set up a lot like New Orleans, and if disaster was to hit here you’ll see the same reaction. The center of the city, “The Strip”, would be protected while every thing north of the city would be of no concern. We live in a city that embraces everybody that comes from outside of Las Vegas, while the born and raised suffer like orphans. Call it what you want, but Cheap Labor to me is just another term for Cheap Slavery. Not slavery as we’ve known in the past, but a more expectable form of slavery where they pay you a little.

We all can be used like Malcolm X, Africa Bambaata, Tookie Williams, Scarface of the Ghetto Boyz, and many more that has gone from negative to positive. We talk about Haters, and the ultimate act of hate is killing. And some how they made us hate each other so much, that we’ve killed more blacks than the history of the KKK. Between the
two who should be looking out for us, Police & Ourselves, we’ve been tricked to do the dirty work of those that want to hold us back and destroy us.

From Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy, to Malcolm X, 2pac, there has been in this country a spirit that hates the ones that stand for true righteousness. So let us do what they say can’t be done, that is to love and help ourselves, that we will be able to bless our shorties to have what we should have had.

Not going to live this life anymore...

Been living in the past too long, trying to grasp the past tighter every day and watching it slip through my hands like sand. Time to try to make it into tomorrow. Time be be prepared and ready for tomorrow and what it can bring, not worry about yesterday.


So it's 5:30am (really!) and today I'm gonna turn the page gonna make the best of the day. Yeah yesterday has passed but God still blesses me today and whatever is done is done. I'm forgiven for my past and I got a lot of work to do to make the best of my future no doubt. For too long it's been about me. It's time for me to live, to give back. Time to help those who need support. It's time to live a better way.

In Isaiah - Chapter 61 it says "The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of theprison to [them that are] bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"

Sometimes I hate my own mental complexity, how my mind plays tricks, how I feel like an outcast. How friends regress progress even though I confess my stress. It's easy to follow but tough to lead I guess.

in Ephesians 5:17 it says "...be ye not unwise..."

How many times have we seen on Gangstyle - "If only I would have handled that better...made the right choices - it would have saved me much so much pain."

We're all in the frontlne of this war and it seems like we have a mountain to move and we have a fine line to walk. It's time for all of us to rise and become what we are, not what we have been. Only a few can understand the feeling but every one can make the change.

Jesus said in Matthew 17:20:

"You will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. "

If it is God's will and we act in it, it can be done.

If you have been in the game for a while you know time is getting short and deep down you know the life ain't worth the price of the few dollars in your pocket. What we do comes back and the cat you jacked a while back has revenge on his mind, maybe some of us are looking for revenge ourselves.

We need to get out of that mind set...Romans 12:19 says "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." That takes a lot off our plate and allows us to move on.

It's tiring and we gotta be done with it. If between us we can just reach one person and help them find Christ in their life that's enough. Most of us don't have much to show for life but that don't mean we can't show others a better way. Life tough out there for everyone, let's use what we know to help others.

In closing check out 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."

We need to get out there and make a difference!

In Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Too many of us know this from experience but that was yesterday time to give our lives to Christ and start working for his Kingdom.

Peace.

Where Do I Go To From Here? Part 2 by Stormcrow

Up until now, we have been discussing the situation that all of those who follow Jesus and accept him as their savior find themselves in initially in very human and worldly terms.

Our relationship with Christ though is more than just a human or worldly relationship; it is a spiritual relationship. Unfortunately, most of us when we first enter our relationships with the Lord are not spiritual beings. As Paul explained to the Corinthians: “Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.” (1 Corinthians 3:1-2 NIV) It is necessary to discuss the situation that we find our selves in as we begin our relationship with Jesus in human terms. It is necessary so that we can establish a common ground and understanding from which to begin a discussion about what the next step should be after you have accepted Christ. At this point though, it is time to consider these things in a more spiritual context. It is time to consider the question before us, to determine what path we should follow, what we should do, now that we have accepted Jesus into our lives and as our savior.

Previously in this discussion it was concluded that every individual's relationship with Jesus is unique, but at the same time there are similarities and constants that exist between one persons relationship with him and another’s. Thus, since there are similarities and constants that exist in this relationship it is possible to look at the relationship others have had with Jesus to see what that relationship looks like, and how to develop such a relationship. There are many places were someone might look to see examples of this relationship, but the best place to start would be the Bible.

Throughout the Bible there are stories concerning the relationship between different people and God, and his son Jesus, both as groups and as individuals. These stories were left as examples and from these examples it is possible to learn about God and his son, who they are and what their nature is. It is possible to learn from these stories of the different relationships that people have had and do have with them, and to see how those relationships developed. Several of these stories were mentioned earlier for consideration and at this time it seem appropriate to discuses one of them, specifically the story of the formation of the first Christian congregation, of those that would believe in Jesus even though they had not known him, in more detail.

The story of coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and of these first believers can be found in the New Testament book of Acts in the second Chapter. After the Holy Spirit was poured out on Jesus disciples they testified about him to those that were gathered in the city of Jerusalem for the Pentecost feast. Some of those gathered rejected their testimony though and accused them of being drunk, which lead to Peter rebuking them and explaining to them what was happening and who Jesus was. After hearing Peter speak those gathered asked what they should do. Peter’s reply can be found starting in the thirty-eight verse:

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." (Acts 2: 38-39)

Peter told the very first believers in Christ that the first thing they needed to do after recognizing and accepting that Jesus was their Lord and Savior, was to repent and be baptized. This seems simple enough, but few people understand what it means to repent and the concept of what baptism is has become an issue division and tradition, yet these are the first steps in forming a meaningful relationship with Jesus. So it is important to understand what the mean of these actions are.

Repentance is more than someone admitting that they have done something wrong or sinned and asking for forgiveness. True repentance is a remorse for the sins or wrongs that have been done and a desire to turn away from them and to make amends.

When someone truly repents they turn away from the wrongs they have been doing, the sins they have been committing and attempt to make things right. Sometimes that means accepting consequences for the things that have happened. This is where many people start having problems in their relationship with Jesus. Many people have an expectation that if they believe in Jesus and ask him to forgive them that everything is going to get better, and in the long run it will.

The problem is that before things can get better, the consequences of the past have to be dealt with. Forgiveness does not remove the penalty of sins, it prevents those penalties from cutting us off from God, and being able to be with him. Eventually everyone is going to die, this is the ultimate price and penalty of sin. But, those that are forgiven, that have accepted forgiveness made possible through Jesus, this is not the end of the story – they will be raised up and allowed to live with him in Heaven.

As for baptism, in the context of this discussion it is not possible or even logical to discuss what the mechanics of baptism are, nor is such a discussion important at this point. What is important is the metaphysical meaning and purpose of baptism, in what every form it takes. Baptism is a symbol of ones acceptance of the forgiveness that God offers through his son Jesus and a desire to follow him. How every it is preformed that is the meaning and purpose behind it. The forgiveness that God offers is free and open to everyone, but not everyone accepts it, even some of those that know Jesus is the Christ and understand that he died for their sins are unable or unwilling to accept this gift. This is because, once you accept it, once you believe and have faith in it, it drives you to change, to take action.

Many of those that were listening to Peter in Jerusalem that Pentecost accepted this gift, they took action. The writer of Acts tells us what they did after accepting the message that Peter brought them.

Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:41-47)

The writer of acts tells us that these first believers devoted themselves to four things:

- To the apostles’ teaching - they devoted themselves to learning about Jesus, about his life and his teaching and what they meant.
- To fellowship – they devoted themselves to spending time together, and making sure that everyone had the things they needed.
- To the breaking of bread – they devoted themselves to remembering Jesus and the sacrifice he made for them.
- To prayer – they devoted themselves to praying to and praising God.

These were the first steps that the first believers took in developing their relationship with Jesus. Unlike the apostles they hadn’t known Jesus personally, which means that like those us today that hear the message of salvation, the same message that Peter brought to them so long ago, they had to spend time developing their relationship with him. So, perhaps this is the path we should follow once we have accepted Jesus, if nothing else, it should at least give us a starting point in developing our relationship with him.

Where Do I go To From Here? by Stormcrow

When Gangstyle asked me to submit a follow up piece to his entitled “One Minute Later … Where Will You Be” I was both honored and humbled. To be entrusted by someone that you respect with an important task is perhaps one of the greatest a show of respect and trust that one human being can give to another, so I was honored by his request. At the same time, his request humbled me. I am well aware that not all people should be teachers. James the brother of Christ wrote, “Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” (James 3:1 NIV) I am not the wisest being around, I do not have all the answers, so it is with a humble and prayerful heart that I approach this task in hope that he that is the wisest, and does have all the answers guilds my words.

The task that I am to address in this piece, the question of what now, where do I go from here, now that I have accepted Christ, is no simple question to answer. There is no standard rule or advice that one can offer; there is no simple 2+2 formula to follow. This is because every individual is unique and has a unique relationship with our Lord. The relationship I have with Jesus, the way that I know him, is not the same as it is for anyone else and their relationship with him. But, though my relationship with Jesus is unique, it is more similar to the relationship that others have with him, than it is different. It is within these similarities that we can find a path to follow, a task to do, that will takes us beyond a simple belief and accept that Jesus is Christ and Lord into a real and meaningful relationship with him.

Whenever two people enter into a new relationship, whether that relationship is as lovers or friends, or simply as co-workers, there is an initial period of time in which they are getting to know each other on a more personal level. Sometimes this initial period of time getting to know someone passes quickly and easily and this new relationship develops or matures with little effort or drama. But, this is not always the situation, in fact it is probably not even the normal one. Sometimes it takes some time to get to know someone new for a relationship with that person to develop. The same situation also exists whenever someone enters a relationship with Jesus. There is an initial period learning in which they get to know him and begin to develop a relationship with him. For some people this initial period of time is short and easy, and for some it is a long and difficult process – what determines how this relationship will develop is the individual involved and their experiences and expectations.

There are many factors that may contribute how any given relationship might develop, but they can general be put into two categories, those categories being the experiences and expectations of the individuals involved. If the individual has had good experiences in past relationships, they may have an easier time develop new ones, but if they have had a bad experience with past relationships, then they may have a difficult time forming new ones. Likewise and often related to past experience, is the expectation an individual brings to the new relationship. If an individual has had good experiences in relationship with others – especially within their families, they are likely to enter new relationships with the expectation that they will be accepted as they are, or that they can trust others. But, if they have had bad experiences in the past with relationships, they may enter each new relationships with the expectation that people can not be trusted until they have proven themselves. Because of this expectation, it takes them a long time to form new relationships, much less a trusting meaningful one. Additionally, there may be unrealistic expectations or hopes that have no basis in facts or experience, yet have profound influences on how a relationship develops – and can actually prevent those involved in being able to see the truth of who each other is or the situation they are in. These same factors influence how an individual relationship with the Lord, with Jesus might develop. Because of past experiences they may not be able to understand what it is like to be truly wanted, accepted, and loved – they may not be able to accept them because they have never known them. Thus, it may take time and maybe even some drama for their understanding to grow to a point were they can begin to accept and believe in these things. These individuals may also have some unrealistic expectations that may prevent them from being able to see and understand who Jesus is, or what it really means to have a relationship with him, to accept him into their lives.

Thus, every individuals relationship with Jesus is unique, just as every individuals and their experiences and expectations upon entering their relationship with him are unique. At the same time there are similarities and constants that exist between one persons relationship with Jesus and another’s – the most important of these being who Jesus is, and who he is doesn’t change from person to person. Because Jesus doesn’t change from person to person, it is possible to look at the example of others and the paths they have followed as they started their relationships with Jesus and how their relationships developed. These examples can be found in the Bible throughout the New Testament and included such stories as Peter’s Confession of Christ (Matthew 16:17-18); The Rich Ruler (Luke 18:18-43); Peter’s Address of the Crowd at Pentecost (Acts 2:14-41) and the Fellowship of the Believers; Philip and the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-40), and Saul’s Conversion (Acts 9:1-22) to name just a few.

I'll leave you to check these out this coming week and return with the 2nd part next week...

Continued Next week...

One minute after... Where will you be?

I'll keep this short cos time is short...

We have a 1 in 1 chance of dying. No-one here gets out alive. After you die where will you be one minute later?

Seems like there's 4 possible answers you may have.

1 "I'm going to heaven." Now this may be true, but for some people it will be a shock where they end up. There's a huge diffence between "Well done, good and faithful servant;" in Matthew 25:23 and "I never knew you: depart from me" in Matthew 7:23. A lot of people who say that they're going to heaven won't get there...

"I'm, basically a good person."
"I've done my best"
"I go to church." ain't gonna cut it...

In Romans 3:10 it is says "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

So what's the right answer? When we die we will have to give an account of our lives before God. God knows our every act and even the best of us aren't sinless.

We have to give our lives to Jesus Christ, who did live a sinless life. Faith in him will save us and wash us clean. Nothing is too bad that it can't be forgiven. To doubt that doubts the scale of Jesus' sacrifice for us and its power to cleanse us. So anyone from stone cold killers to daily sinners are saved.

2 "I'm going to hell." There's no-one in hell cos of the sins they committed or things they've done wrong. The people who are in hell are there because they refused God's provision to cleanse us from our sins. Like I said above ain't nothing so bad it can't be forgiven if you ask Jesus to cleanse you, so hell is not pre-defined for you, whatever you have done you can make the choice for Christ and for heaven.

3 "I don't know where I'll be." Well this one's a real simple concept for a G. If you're not with us you're against us. You have to make a positive choice for Christ. God isn't a God that will force us to do something we don't want. If we choose hell he will allow us to, if we choose Christ we're saved.

4 "I don't believe in God." None belief does not excuse you from nature's laws. I could say I don't believe in gravity but if I jump off a building I'm gonna hit the ground real fast. I am still affected. So like number 3 without a positive choice I'm going to hell.

I can't stress this strongly enough. I wasted years in unbelief until Christ started moving in my life. Learn from my mistakes. All you need is true faith in Christ and one minute after you'll be in heaven. Guaranteed.

John 1:9 clinches it..."If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

It doesn't say maybe, it says he is faithful, that means always keeping his word and never failing us.

Take the step accept Christ into your heart and your life and leave a message below.
