Conservatism starts with God and applies God’s principles to this un-Godly world. The Bible was written to educate and motivate the Christian to change the world.
Notably NOT among God’s principles was for a church to take over any government in the name of Christ.
That was something the church arrogated to itself a few hundred years into its history, and it dumbed down the church and whitewashed the state.
Another view on what may be God’s plan here. Consider the following:
“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” Ezekiel 22:30
and,
“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.” Isiah 54:17
Then remember:
God has a habit of calling and using the unlikely: Noah was a drunk, Abraham was too old, Jacob was a liar, Leah was ugly, Joseph was abused, Moses had a stuttering problem, Gideon was afraid, Samson was a womanizer, Rahab was a prostitute, David was an adulterer and a murderer, Elijah was suicidal, Jonah ran from God, Naomi was a widow, Job went bankrupt, Peter denied, the Disciples fled, Martha worried, the Samaritan woman was divorced, Zacchesus was too small and Lazarus was dead!
