A Christian Stand

While I understand by writing the following that I will be misunderstood and possibly considered weak in my stand for Christ, I’m compelled to write anyway.

In the last few days Kim Davis has been compared to Daniel, Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and other great Saints that have stood for their conviction!  While I am always proud of a person with conviction, the process of showing it is a narrow road.

Many of our respected leaders have elevated Kim Davis to this stature!  There is no comparison for her to these wonderful Saints of God!  Some including one of my first picks for president, Mike Huckabee have used this to further their own agenda and for this I am greatly saddened.    

Sometimes we get caught up in things without giving it a lot of thought.  In Kim Davis’ situation we see her as a Christian under attack and we flock around her, just as we should if she is taking the proper stand.  Sometimes we have difficulty rightly dividing what would be the proper stand to take.

As for me I would have much more respect for her if she would have stood for Christ by saying, she would rather give up her eighty thousand dollar a year job than comply with something she felt was against her Christian faith.  Don’t you suppose God would honor her faith?  Sure He would!  This is a real Christian stand!
