Extreme vandalism on any person’s property or business is a very shameful thing. This suspect’s life and family are changed forever.  However, to read the rhetoric coming from Susan Cahill, her husband and former and present patients of the All Families Healthcare clinic, it was CHRISTIANS who perpetrated this terrible act of “terrorism” on the Flathead Valley.

When you sign up for a one- or two-hour prayer vigil, you PRAY for the staff and the women who chose abortion. There are no hate signs — you are cautioned never to do that. All the many churches in the valley who sign up for part of a 24-hour prayer vigil shift over 40 days and nights only pray unceasingly (in love) for a change of heart to protect a life — not end one.  

I know this young man’s family is devastated as much as, if not more than, Susan Cahill and others that have written in or sent money for the clinic to re-open.  

In the Holy Bible, God’s word, the Pharisees (religious rulers) were closing in on Jesus to try to trap him in his own words and have him arrested and crucified. “Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” they asked him. The Pharisees and Jews were taxed to death and hoped Jesus would answer a different way, but Jesus in Matthew 22:21 said: “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give to God what is God’s.”

What this simply means is we must obey our leaders and laws, but we honor God by not committing ourselves to the sins of this world.  

Christians will continue to pray that individuals will choose life because the child in that womb is precious unto God and is unable to “make a choice” of his or her own.
