Below is a letter to the Editor from one of our members. No matter how you feel about same sex marriage, is it really necessary to jail the clerk for not issuing marriage licenses???

Letter to the Editor,
Did you happen to notice on Sept 3rds Watertown Daily Times the front page coverage of the deceased Munchkin Coroner, Mr Raabe from the Wizard of Oz? And, did you happen to notice on page 9 {second to last page} coverage of Kim Davis the Kentucky clerk who has refused to issue “marriage” licenses to gay couples….And, Sept 4th, last page, we are notified that “the defiant clerk” … Kim Davis has been jailed because she refused to issue said licenses. Quite nauseating as the first paragraph of this article celebrates with the “winning” couple who “finally” was granted a “marriage” certificate, as Kim heads to jail. Weren’t we warned that this would be the next “step”. More confirmation that The Bible is true, Isaiah 5:20 “How terrible it will be for those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness.
John MacArthur from his sermon “We Will Not Bow” { Available online at: http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/80-425} makes some very astute observations. It is his belief, that what we are witnessing in our country today is actually not about same sex marriage; but destruction to the family. Strong, moral families are the bedrock and foundation to a nation. Destroy God’s ordained marriage, and children will no longer be safe in that small sovereign unit we now call “family”. More and more we are witnessing Hillary’s plan of children being raised by “the village”. Common Core, our educational system systematically indoctrinates our children with globalism, environmentalism with the additional threat of removing our historical roots and the greatness of what America once was. How long will it be until our children will be viewed as “public children” who belong to the State?
Yes, we live in very challenging times. Our foundations are crumbling. Our God ordained freedoms are being destroyed. Do we shake our heads in confusion and agree “it’s too bad Kim Davis sits in jail, in isolation this Labor Day”. Or, do we stand with her and be “the sleeping giant” voice in standing for Biblical righteousness. To understand the unlawfulness of this current situation do a search on Joseph Farah’s article “The Law Abider Who Sits is Jail”. Peter and the Apostles were jailed for preaching the truth; and when freed determined to follow God rather than man {Acts 5:29}. Will we do the same?
great letter!!!
