Living crazy is said to be a hard life, and people want respect for it. But Im coming real when I say trying to live like a normal member of society is hard. That deserves respect. Not throwing yourself to drugs, violence, gangs etc. Anyone can do that. Anyone can beat someone up or shove powder in their nose, or shoot a gun. Does anyone feel me?." Dana
Time to get deeper. Gangs and God is where we take it beyond the physical to the spiritual. It's where we discuss issues going on in society. Matters from the Bible and life on the streets. This is also a place where you can have your say. With every piece that is published you can post feedback and we also welcome articles that fit in with the aim of the page.

It's Dangerous and They're Not Listening
Now my son stands a very good chance of going to prison…for a number of years, and yes he did have an extensive juvenile record.
Now, the world says that…I have no right to preach the gospel…
God says…PREACH ON…because someone whom I want to hear, will hear.

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. continued
A Teacher with a Student Who is Trying to Leave a Gang

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. continued

Where do I go from here part 1 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... continued
One minute after... where will you be?. Heaven or hell. Your call...
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.... continued
Where's J? A life ended...

The next breath you take...
"Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away (James 4:13-14)."
