On the other hand, we do have direct immediate control over ourselves and how we raise our children... it must not be overlooked what an important part this plays.

If we do nothing but scream from the mountaintops “Overturn Roe” but do nothing to change ourselves and our charge, then we have done little.


So you're suggesting that conservatives should focus more on hearth, home, and community instead of mealy-mouthed promises from cynical politicians? ;)

The battle will only be won in the public eye if we all do what God has given us to do and take the time to encourage and uphold the other.

The outcome is ultimately in the hands of the Lord himself. We cannot create Heaven on Earth, but, as you stated earlier, we can strengthen our bonds and influence where it really counts. A nation that, according to many polls, is seventy-five to eighty-five percent "Christian," which allows all of this has either been duped by pollsters or duped by persistent, progressive secularism. My money's with the latter.

I’ve not seen a bad point out of either one of you concerning abortion... keep up the good work and lets save fight for the enemy.

I’m afraid we’re gonna need it.


But just who is the enemy?

Just thought this should be isolated and repeated.

Just about two lines down I said, “So we have to fight on both fronts... it ain’t everybody’s cup of tea to fight the same way. God made us like that so we could each strengthen the others weakness.”

It’s all about balance and finding your voice and your place. All different Christians have all different callings, as many callings as there are personalities.
And, yes... I agree with you that we cannot trust mealy-mouthed politicians.

“The outcome is ultimately in the hands of the Lord himself. We cannot create Heaven on Earth, but, as you stated earlier, we can strengthen our bonds and influence where it really counts.

I couldn’t agree more. The battle is the Lord’s, but not to the point we just hunker and wait. Moses didn’t gauge public opinion or even wait for one man to agree. We have God’s word as our guide and the added blessing of like-minded Christian conservatives. We disagree seldom on the major moral questions unless it’s to pic a nit.

Enemy in the general sense... or in an idealogical sense... or in a very real sense when it comes to fighting immorality and injustice.

More specifically, Obama and Hillary and Teddy and Reid and.........
