Kim Davis part 1: what does the average man do Tuesday morning
- What should the average Christian man do, think, and say in response to the Kim Davis situation?
The hosts take up the framed question directly: what should the average Christian man do, think, and say tomorrow morning about the Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses? Positions aired: a host says he'd quit rather than participate, another says you can't avoid participating in others' sin in any job, and a third argues no earthly law dictates what God calls marriage — the clerk is in a position to love people, not to be kept from doing God's work. Discussion of whether calling out sin without the gospel is wasted breath.
