Vision Forum has posted a piece entitled, “Who Should We Mourn?” It suggested we mourn all of the unborn who died at this man’s hands, as well as for the future children whose deaths will be justified by Dr. Tiller’s murder. It instructed us to mourn for our nation and for the Church. We most certainly should mourn those children who were brutally deprived of life. I believe we should also mourn for Dr. George Tiller. We cannot be pro-life and rejoice in the murder of an enemy. We should mourn for his family. We must love our enemy by caring for his loved ones. Perhaps there were those who loved him as Christ commanded even as he was an enemy to the unborn. I do not know. I do not believe that we can be selectively pro-life.

I think this would be an example of someone choosing not to cry out to the Lord for help in a time of trouble and not waiting on the Lord to act (or perhaps becoming impatient while waiting for the Lord to act). It is a tragedy. There is nothing good that happens, either for the witness of the gospel or for the pro-life movement, when someone tries to stop abortion by taking the life of an abortionist. There is never anything good that happens for the witness of the gospel when Christian people resort to the tactics of the world in order to see their goals accomplished (consider the Crusades). We can only pray that somehow good can come out of this. Perhaps if pro-life people are truly remorseful over this killing, and if we show love to those people and groups who oppose us, the light of the gospel will shine through the darkness of this day.
