The Punctuation Mark That Might Change How You Read Romans

Last updated on: September 11, 2015 at 8:01 am By Dan Wilkinson

Why I Have Compassion for Defiant Court Clerk Kim Davis

Last updated on: September 7, 2015 at 7:11 am By Chuck Queen

Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk who has refused to issue marriage licenses, has been all over the news and internet this past week. Last Thursday U.S. District Judge Bunning sent her to jail.

Last updated on: September 5, 2015 at 11:04 am By Dan Wilkinson

Why I Support Kim Davis

Last updated on: September 3, 2015 at 8:39 pm By Dan Wilkinson

Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis refuses to issue same-sex marriage licenses because doing so would violate her religious beliefs. While I vehemently disagree with Davis' beliefs about same-sex marriage, I wholeheartedly support her for taking a stand for what she thinks is moral, and I admire her willingness to maintain her convictions in the face of enormous pressure. It’s an example that many of us would do well to heed. Read more
