the teachings of jesus and the principles of reagan

Christian Conservatives-- people who have given their lives to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and who, politically, believe in the foundational principles of the American Republic. Those foundational principles were first put into place by our Founding Fathers and were later revived by The Great Communicator and The Great Conservative, Pres. Ronald Wilson Reagan. We continue the discussion of what it means to be a Christian Conservative.

As Christians, we believe that...
1. God is our Heavenly Father, the Author of life, and the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. He created all people in His image.
2. Jesus Christ is God's one and only Son, and one with God.
3. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived as fully human and fully divine on this earth, was crucified on the cross, died, was buried, and on the third day was raised from the dead. He did all of this as the Perfect Sacrifice for our sins, so that all who believe in Him could have eternal life in paradise.
4. Jesus gave us the perfect bluprint for living our lives. Specifically, He said that we were to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength, and that we were to love our fellow man just as much as we love ourselves.
5. God sent His Holy Spirit to convict us of sin, righteousness and judgement of sin, to transform our hearts in God's sight, to help us remember the Word of God, to help us lead godly lives, to give us spiritual gifts for the edification of believers, to guarantee our eternal life with God, and to empower us to be witnesses for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As Reagan Conservatives, we believe that...
1. the Constitution says what it means and means what it says. In other words, let's have none of this rubbish about a "Living Constitution".
2. our Constitution and our entire system of government is grounded in the belief that God made us all equal in His perfect sight and that He endowed us with certain natural rights which no man can take away from us. Those rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
3. the Constitution was written to protect us from the possibility of government taking those rights away from us.
4. the principles of federalism, separation of powers, checks and balances, popular sovereignty, majority rules, protection of the minority, and the rule of law are all woven into the very fabric of our Constitution and must be followed to the letter with no deviation.
5. the judicial branch was always intended to be the weakest of the three branches.
6. the republic cannot survive without a religious and moral citizenry who in turn elect virtuous leaders.
7. life and liberty are only secure so long as our property rights are secure.
8. prosperity is highest in a free-market economy with minimal government regulation and low taxes.
9. government, for the most part, should leave us alone and stay out of our lives.
10. America is a "tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teemimg with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here (legally).----quote comes from Pres. Reagan's Farewell Address, except for the word legally at the end. We inserted that because we think that's what Pres. Reagan meant.

Thanks for visiting with us for awhile. More will follow.

Sincerely,

The Christian Conservatives
