The cruelty against Jack Phillips continues. Will you pray for him? You know his story: Jack is the cake artist from Colorado who serves all people but could not—and cannot—create a custom cake that expresses a message he does not believe.

All because he wants to say what he believes without fear of government punishment. But let’s back up. Jack is a cake artist in Colorado. As the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, he gladly serves all people. And like most artists, he always decides whether to create a custom cake based on what message it will express, never who requests it. For this, Colorado officials tried to punish Jack all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. They wanted to force Jack to say ...
