When God’s Law and Man’s Law Conflict–Lessons from Kim Davis
Many interpretations are being thrown around these days about obeying “the law of the land” in these United States of America.
The issue exploded recently into public view when a Kentucky County clerk named Kim Davis declined to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. I’m sure you saw images of her being hauled off to jail by those who said “she was not above the law.”

Bob Pierce, who founded the organization in 1950, was a compassionate man I had the privilege of meeting in the 1970s. A few years ago, one of his staff served on a team I led to Mongolia. WV’s global headquarters is only a thirty minute drive from my home, and in the past year, I visited its gigantic warehouse three times to pick up materials for a building project.
However, on March 24, World Vision made a big mistake.
Then they reversed it.
Through this dramatic sequence of events, we have learned what the church is all about.
