Whichever side of the Bible you choose your seat, believer or detractor, it isn’t possible to ignore the willingness of the faithful to stand by their beliefs in the face of attacks and hardships. News coverage of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’ allegiance to faith, despite political pressure to favor the rights of one group over those of others, has focused the nation on faith, Christianity in particular. Because of this confrontation, as believers, what we do for Faith is under scrutiny. Callings on our lives come in myriad fashion, most of which have little to do with faith or, in the beginning, are not recognized as such. When did Davis know that she would place her occupation on the line in order to be faithful? How does a “calling” to hand one’s future over to faith first, letting the world take a backseat, come about? Consider what I heard one pastor ask in his message: What is a calling and how do you know when you’re being called?
