Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk under fire for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, says she loves all people, but she is most concerned with serving God.
"It's a Heaven or Hell issue for me," Davis said Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "The Kelly File."

Davis became a born-again Christian 4-and-a-half years ago after going through three divorces and giving birth out of wedlock earlier in her life. Now, she wants to serve Christ, she told host Megyn Kelly.
"I vowed to serve him with every bit of strength I had. And, to me, that's a vow I want to keep," she said.
Davis said she isn't judging gay people who want to get married, but sought an accommodation from the state legislature when she first assumed office in January so that she and other clerks wouldn't have to issue licenses without denying same-sex couples the right to have them. She didn't succeed.
It is people who have called her a sinner who are judging, she said.
"I have give my life to Christ. I have been redeemed by the blood of Christ. And that's available to anybody that wants that," she said.
As for calls for her to resign, Davis said she won't do it.
"If I resign I lose my voice," she said.
