The Love of a Conservative Christian

I know many will see the statement above and think it is an oxymoron. Conservative Christians are often labeled in the media as some of the most hateful and cold-hearted people in America, but I would like a chance to explain my side of things. You see, I don’t consider myself hateful, bigoted, cold-hearted or anything of the sort. In fact, I think of myself as very loving; I think I care very deeply for people even those I don’t know personally. I understand my beliefs stand in contrast to many and that my religious convictions cause me to take a different stance on many issues, but I still see my view as loving. I want to be clear, I am not writing this in an attempt to convert Atheists to Christians or liberals to conservatives, nor is my goal to show my side of things is the only loving side. I simply want a chance to explain what I believe and why I consider it to be a loving point of view.

Open Letter from a Concerned Christian

I am writing this letter as a wake-up call. Christians need to open their eyes to the world that is around them. We have been lulled into a false sense of safety and the world is using that to slowly chip away at everything that we stand for. I can’t think of any other time in recent history when Christian beliefs and values were being attacked as fervently as they are today. We are being attacked from every direction at all times. They attack our beliefs, our morals, our redemption, our God, our intelligence and even our character. What is even more disconcerting is there are wolves within the Christian community that are using their platform to attack Christianity from within and so many people are falling right into the trap without ever realizing they are being led astray.
