To the editor:

I am writing in appreciation for Sarah Schnieder’s column that was in The Journal’s Feb. 25 edition.

It was beautifully written. Sarah was speaking from the heart. The story connecting the church of her youth and her chosen church of now touched me and several of my friends.

It was a reminder that man makes laws and political structures, but ultimately Jesus our Savior is who we follow. We pray the laws and structures that men create reflect kindness, decency, and justice.

Clearly that is not the case with the paramilitary operations being conducted in our nation. I and Sarah and many other Christians oppose those. Masked men abducting people from their homes, workplaces, and schools is unconstitutional. It is also unkind, indecent, and unjust.

First Corinthians tells us, “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” Thanks, Sarah, for speaking from love.
