This website is dedicated to the truth of the gospel -

that the way of life taught by Jesus Christ is one of

nonresistance, nonviolence, and peace.

When Christians seek to justify their violent actions,

they pervert the gospel and vainly attempt to recast

Jesus in their own image.

When Christians put patriotism above the gospel,

it is heresy and idolatry.

In order to promote nonresistance, we are collecting

and posting literature that teaches this essential,

misunderstood, and ignored element of the gospel.

Just click on the blue menu bar to get to the literature

that is now available. We continue to add new

material, so check back once in a while.

We have transcribed and posted the

complete works of Leo Tolstoy on nonviolence.

Check out our Tolstoy page!

Essay: On Soldiers, Police, and Jailers

Someone wrote to me asking what would I say about a Christian police officer who needs to uphold the law and

what I make of the Philippian jailer. This was my answer. I'm disappointed that I never heard back from the fellow.
