Lessons Learned From a Presidential Assassination Attempt

Since the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, the notion that we ‘are witnessing history’ is not an uncommon one, particularly among the American people. While we have heard in our history classes of presidential assassinations and assassination attempts, for many of us, they seemed to be relegated to history. The truth of the matter is that we are witnessing history, but not in a pleasant sort of way. We are not witnessing the awe of Simone Biles winning yet another Olympic title (hopefully in the next few weeks), nor are we witnessing the previously thought impossible moon landing. What we are witnessing seems to be the disintegration of society and the loss of confidence in the ability to navigate complex topics and disagreements without violence in our own country.

Public Square Magazine is not a partisan venue. Our staff comes from across the political spectrum and are united in our love for our Lord Jesus Christ. It is in this spirit that we condemn the cowardly assassination attempt of Donald Trump in the strongest terms possible. In our desire to follow Christ, we repeat his enduring message:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
