There are liberals, conservatives, moderate, and other political stands, groups, and not one political group has it all together, but Jesus Christ is Lord over all. Jesus Christ is not a politician, He is a ruler, He is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, and He rules through all those in authority.
As we look through political stands, we as Christians need to get our values and morals based on the Word of God. We as Christians should be apart of what is going on in this world, for we are the salt of the world. At the same time we must know that the church is apart of the Kingdom, and we not only are priest also we are kings; Christ wants us to take leading roles in all walks of life and community for His glory. Above, all it is much prayer that will change the governments of this world.
We as Christians should not allow politics to bring divisions among us, instead we need to imprint Christ into all political groups, but at the same time we need a common ground, such as moral absolutes and a common faith of absolutes. We as Christians cannot agree with things that are clearly seen as sin that would hurt society and not make it a better place.
Conservatism, conservatives, and conservative Christians must understand that there is a false conservatism that is not seen by us diehards, in addition we may overlook certain areas in our own life when pointing the finger, or in battle for social and moral justice in our world.
We may call this sin and that sin; those things are visible and clearly seen as sins; can, could and have done much harm to society. However, we don’t see sins of the heart that in turn can produce a false Conservatism among us. Such as sins of pride, hypocrisy, envy, greed, selfness, lusts for power, and even religion can become a sin of the heart.
What we need is to abound in the love of Jesus for the world, holy burning passion for our Lord, baptism of the fire of the Holy Spirit, to have a prayer life, inward purely, live a holy life, to love all those in Christ, to move in compassion to those hurting in the world, and above this to be humble before our Lord.
Furthermore, today the Holy Spirit is moving among the church around the world rising up a mighty marketplace army that move forth in grace, power, love, favor, and wisdom, in all areas of the marketplace, business, government, etc of all walks of society to change our world for the glory of Christ.
