Christians try to follow all of God's rules, not just one

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.

OPINION: Don't blame the messengers ...
Regarding Bill Cox’s letter in the Inter Lake about Islamic/Syrian refugees moving into Montana and the citizenry who oppose it, Cox says the letters opposing this “migration” were orchestrated by a campaign of propaganda to demonize Muslims. Are you saying Mr. Cox that the hundreds of citizens who showed up at the Flathead County commissioners’ office are all Islamophobic? Is that the same as saying all those who disagree with President Obama are all racists?
OPINION: Tired of being called a hater and racist
The “stand against violence, fear and hate” type groups that rallied recently in Depot Park, and all across Montana and America, are a coalition of a large number of paid lobbying groups such as the ACLU, Montana Human Rights Network, Love Lives Here, NARAL (pro-choice), Planned Parenthood, SEIU, CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), Move-On.org (George Soros group) and even joining in are Presbyterian and Unitarian Universalist churches (to name just a “few” of the non-profits behind this).
Flathead County's good Samaritans
I was stuck alongside the road on Hutton Ranch Road on a recent afternoon when my car slid off into a two-foot shoulder of snow. What made matters more insane was the fact that I got out (while the car was idling) to check the “conditions” and closed the car door behind me — now I was LOCKED out of my running car stuck in two feet of snow.
