Kim Davis is a controversial figure in her own time. She makes us uncomfortable because she suggests a comfortable era for Christians in America may be coming to an end. We may reach a point where we can’t dodge anymore: either we will surrender our faith for all practical purposes, or we will suffer to maintain a stand for righteousness. But she isn’t the villain.
The villains are five Supreme Court Justices who have decided to become Philosopher Kings and Queens. They have made the rule of law a sick joke and turned the plain meaning of the Constitution on its head to build the world they wanted. They’ve been enabled by spineless Republicans who not only refused to defy illegitimate orders of the court but have abdicated exercising the legitimate Constitutional power to restrain the court’s unlawful impulses.
Christians can stand with Kim Davis in prayer and financial support or they can delude themselves and dismiss Ms. Davis as a pestilent troublemaker getting her just desserts and that the US government would never jail anyone simply for following their faith. They can believe that only for so long before reality catches up with us all.
You've stated it far more eloquently than I ever can. Excellent post and you're 1000% right.
Those who stick their heads in the sand and refuse to see the battle before us will be the first casualties in the coming war. They'll have brought it on themselves.
