Please don't forget that, according to Isaiah 58 and Matt 25, as the world's "salt" and "light" Jewish and Christian conservatives support and are committed to programs and candidates who are serious about meeting the needs of the homeless, bereft women and children; clothing those who are inadequately clothed, visiting and comforting the sick, and visiting and helping those who are in prison or jail, loosening the bands of wickedness that bind people, undoing the heavy burdens of sin/grief/loss/pain/suffering that people are bearing, letting the oppressed ones go free from that which has enslaved and addicted them, breaking every yoke by which people are kept in subjection to sin and evil, finding housing for the wandering poor, clothing those inadequately clothed, caring for your own relatives, working at removing the oppressive and enslaving yoke that is on those around you, ceasing from accusing and/or slandering others, feeding the hungry, caring for and comforting those who are afflicted and suffering, and being careful not to waste your life in foolish, empty and worthless talk.
Christian conservatives support and are committed to programs and candidates that are serious about people being committed to actively, compassionately and unselfishly loving others by being patient, kind, envy-free, jealousy-free, advancing the good and interests of others, assertive for the good needs of others, seeking others' good benefit, boastful of any good about others, humbly recognizing and accepting others' limitations; behaving well, angry at evil but patient with weakness, forgiving wrongs done, delivering people from evil and harm, rejoicing in truth and merciful justice together, standing up and speaking out together for merciful justice and truth.
A DECLARATION OF CHRISTIAN INDEPENDENCE
In the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the American disciples of the risen, living and reigning Lord Jesus Christ, to take such action.
