What I love about conservatives...
 

1. Their passion for what they believe to be true.
2. Their courage for speaking out in spite of rejection and possible ridicule from others.
3. Their dedication to God and what they believe to be true about him.
4. Their concern for the spiritual welfare of people.
5. Their tenacity that makes me keep thinking and sharpening my position.

Nice observations. I agree with them.

But I am going to make a prediction here... This thread won't last long... UNLESS it turns from "What I love about conservatives" to "What I DON'T like about conservatives."

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

The same can be said for moderates, as well as Liberals.:party
Get over it and stop letting them make you feel less or more unworthy than God says you are.

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

Liberals and mods rock too, and for the same reasons.

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

Thank you for these encouraging and affirming words, Sister.

It's high time people stopped feeling like they need to say anything kind about conservatives.

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

What's a conservative?

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

Amen.

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

1) I agree for the most part

2) I agree although I quite often note a "persecution complex" in many, meaning that they feel they are being persecuted for Christ by the mere act of disagreeing with them.

3) Many ARE. Many are NOT. Many are much more dedicated to their "list".

4) Some are. Some are far more concerned with control (although most of them will not even admit it to themselves).

5) I agree nearly 100% here. (But even on this point, there are SOME who do nothing but spout various party lines and never offer any backing and never respond to a challenge... See item #2.)

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

The persecution complex is not nearly as annoying as the prosecution complex.

Re: What I love about conservatives...
 

All in all, there are two distinct definitions of "conservative" as it relates to the church. One kind is very good (as it relates to the initial post) and the other is very bad.
For instance, some of the most "conservative" people I know would be considered flaming liberals by many definitions and other "conservatives" I know need to be called by their rightful name, pharisees.
