Rev Patrick Mahoney is a man of principle and courage. On a beautiful spring day in our nations capital he set out to pray for women seeking to end their pregnancies and their soon to die offspring. By simply kneeling on the sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood abortion mill, he found himself arrested, handcuffed and driven off in the back of a District of Columbia police car.

Showing the power of political connections, the organization claimed the outdoors portion of the property to be part of the indoor section… and the city attorney went along with their scheme. Of course Planned Parenthood did not like Rev. Mahoney and his compatriots letting women know what was really going on inside the building and inside their bodies. There were too many dollars at stake. Besides killing babies is a woman’s right.

The thing that makes this event so notable is that he knew this would be the result… and he did it anyway. Many of us will cheer on a courageous patriot who will stand up, not only to the police but the legal system as well. Then, use the legal system to take back the ground we are losing every day. The complete story is covered in Christian News Wire.

We say, “Hooray for Patrick Mahoney!” We say we will pray for him and his work. Some of us will actually do it. But how many of us will put our freedom and dignity on the line and kneel next to the man in the forbidden space? While it is true that one man on the side of God is a majority, it is also true that there is also power in numbers. Never before has our government been so hostile to the traditional Christian values on which our country was founded. Never before have we need to stand our ground… whether it is supporting the unborn, standing up for traditional marriage, protecting our second amendment rights or any of a number of issues considered outdated by our progressive masters.

We can be led quietly to the slaughter… not just us, but the many we will not reach… if they are permitted to succeed. Rev. Mahoney explained the effectiveness of the American Center for Law and Justice in fighting the good (legal) fight. I have worked with them myself and can attest to the quality and tenacity of their attorneys. Having the ACLJ in your corner may be just confidence builder you need to take the stand against the powers of darkness. Whether the ACLJ or Rutherford Institute is by your side, it’s important to remember that wjen you are doing the Lord’s work, you are never alone.

Good job Rev. Mahoney! God bless you!
