We thank God for this new day which He has given to us. As we worship, Let us do it with our whole heart.
This past week, Charisma Magazine carried an article with the caption, “Wanted: A Million More Bold Christians Like Kim Davis”. Kim Davis is a Christian woman who was elected as Rowan County clerk in Kentucky. She has refused to sign her name to marriage certificates that defy God’s natural design for this institution. Instead, Kim has requested, as a simple accommodation, that either her name be removed from the marriage licenses or that licenses be issued by the chief executive of Rowan County or by developing a statewide, online marriage license process.
It is felt by many that this was a reasonable and fair request. No doubt, this is based on the fact that our nation has long been known for respecting the rights of conscientious objectors. Furthermore, the fact remains that people do not abandon their First Amendment rights when they become government employees. “There is absolutely no reason that this case has gone so far without reasonable people respecting and accommodating Kim Davis’ First Amendments rights,” said Mat Staver, the attorney for Davis and head of Liberty Counsel, a Christian civil rights organization.
Kim Davis made her position abundantly clear last week Thursday, September 3, when she stated the following: “This is a heaven or hell issue and for every other Christian that believes. This is a fight worth fighting… I’ve weighed the cost and I’m prepared to go to jail.”
We need to keep Kim Davis in our prayers. The Bible urges us to pray one for another. On Tuesday she was released from prison with a strict order from the Judge not to interfere with the issuing of marriage licenses by her officers. According to Matt Barber of Charisma News, “For the first time in America, a woman was imprisoned for exercising her Christian faith. Is this an indication of things to come? Only God knows.

10 Amazing Bible Facts (Second Part)
by DAVID PEACH
6 – The Bible is Historically Accurate
There were several secular historians who wrote about the events of the New Testament at the same time the Bible was being written. Josephus is the most well-known of them. He was a Jewish historian. Tacitus was a Roman historian who would have no benefit from not telling the truth. Both these men, as well as others, can be used to back up the historical accuracy of the Bible.
There are historical discoveries regularly coming to light that continue to support the accuracy of the Bible. Merrill Unger, who compiled a Bible dictionary wrote, “Old Testament archeology has rediscovered whole nations, resurrected important peoples, and in a most astonishing manner filled in historical gaps, adding immeasurably to the knowledge of Biblical backgrounds.”
