IF YOU LIVE IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DECLARE YOUR LOYALTY TO EITHER THE AUBURN TIGERS OR THE CRIMSON TIDE.  GENERALLY SPEAKING THE STATE IS PROBABLY DIVIDED EVENLY CONCERNING FOOTBALL.

IT SEEMS PEOPLE WHO POSSESS CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN VALUES TEND TO BE CONVINCED THEY ARE IN A VERY SMALL MINORITY WITHIN THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF OUR TIME.

BUT IS THIS EVALUATION ACCURATE?  IS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM ROOTED IN THE PERVASIVE FEAR OF NOT BEING “POLITICALLY CORRECT” WHEN WE SPEAK?  AS PAINFUL AS IT IS TO ADMIT, HAS THIS NOTION NOT CREPT INTO OUR PSYCHE?

HOWEVER, BY STEPPING OUTSIDE OF SUCH CONFINES AND ADDING BIBLICALLY BASED OPINIONS TO CONVERSATIONS, IT IS PLEASANTLY SURPRISING AND OH- SO-ENCOURAGING TO DISCOVER THE ACTUAL, YET OFTEN SILENT, NUMBER OF LIKE-MINDED FELLOW CITIZENS IN THE CROWD.  

CAN WE NOT SEE THAT MINORITY GROUPS HAVE LEARNED HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM AFFORDED BY A FREE SOCIETY TO WIELD A DISPROPORTIONATE POWER OVER THE WHOLE, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING MORAL ISSUES?

HERE IS THE CHALLENGE: SPEAK UP AND ADD YOUR CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN VALUES TO EVERYDAY CONVERSATIONS IN A POSITIVE MANNER.  THERE JUST MAY BE A SURPRISE RESPONSE WAITING TO BE SHARED BY ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAS BEEN LONGING TO FIND SUPPORT IN LIVING THE TRULY GOOD LIFE.
