Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
Martin Luther King Jr., December 11, 1964
US black civil rights leader & clergyman (1929 – 1968)

The National Student Walkout to Prayer is a non-violent answer to the moral, economic, and political collapse of our nation. If there is going to be change it is going to start on the campuses. The failures of our nation are not in the halls of the senate or congress, they are not in the White house or the supreme court, but rather the failure of our nation lies in the hearts of the men and women who have forsaken God, thinking that we could do it in our own strength. There must be a resistance and the followers of Christ are left with no greater weapon than that of prayer and petition.

This time America is not fighting against slavery of the African, but the slavery of all people in spirit, soul, and mind. Leaving the multitudes without love. As the book of Collosians so appropriately states, “Let no one take you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophies which rely on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ” Col 2:8
