Why are you conservative?

[endtimer]

Good question. My relationship with Jesus is everything to me. That said, I hold consecrations that lead me to be what most of the members in my church would consider conservative. I do not want to get into specifics because I want to remain modest about my modesty. I hold certain consecrations not out of fear of hell, to "one up" my less conservative brothers and sisters because of an insecurity or need to prove something, nor do I think my righteousness will "earn" me heaven. My conservative values and consecrations are nothing more than my effort to keep fleshly kingdoms at bay in my life and allow room for Gods kingdom to reign in me. I am determined to be close to Jesus and Im careful and conservative not to allow anything of my flesh to put a wedge between He and I.
