Values

Since the last election there has been a vigorous debate about the meaning of Christian values. Some want to focus on sexual purity and others are more inclined to emphasize economics. If you ask me which one is right I simply answer, "YES!"

Hostorically conservative Christians, as opposed to conservative politicians, have flcused on helping the whole person. Sometimes we might forget the importance of life on earth and focus primarily on eternal life but even then knowing Christ and attending church are good fof people's health, economic condition and relationships.

Christians who attend church regularly:
Live longer
Marry more and divorce less
Have healthier lives
Enjoy life more
Have better sex lives
Vote more and are more involved in community activities
Drink less and use less drugs
Have fewer unruly children

Perhaps no political movement in American history has benefitted more from the involvement of Christians and churches than the Abolition of slavery, the Emancipation of slaves and the Civil Rights of African Americans.

The best thing we can do for the poor and downtrodden is to win them to Christ and get them into a good church. They will prosper in every area of life. Christians promote life not death.

I have set before you today death or life. Choose life. Jeremiah 31
