Recently there have been several legal cases against individuals who have refused to render their professional services for homosexual "marriages." One is a cake shop and another is a photographer (there are more than 2).
How should we think about this issue? Should Christians have the right to, for conscience sake, opt out of participating in gay wedding ceremonies or is this akin to Jim Crow laws during the days of racial bigotry? Here are a few articles to help you think through this issue. We are in a time of great cultural pressure. Let's think biblically.

A blog designed to encourage Grace Church of Tallahassee College/Career members to think biblically in all areas of life and to grow in the knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness (Titus 1:1). The title is based on Titus 2:12 where Paul says that the grace of God saves us and trains us to live godly lives in the present age.
