Welcome To The Wise Conservative

The Wise Conservative:

Growing with God as our guide

by R. Douglass Mahaffey

     This is the first official blog entry of The Wise Conservative. I hope that you will join me as I build this blog and allow God to direct its path as He uses me to do His bidding with it.
     This blog has nothing to do with Politics. It is exclusively a Christian Conservative Publication and will be used for the sole purpose of sharing Christ with its readers. As the publisher, I would like to clear up the differences between a "political conservative" and a "Christian conservative." The difference between them is a vast one.
     The definition of political conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes retaining traditional social institutions. A person who follows the philosophies of conservatism is referred to as a traditionalist or conservative.
     Some conservatives seek to preserve things as they are, emphasizing stability and continuity, while others, called reactionaries, oppose modernism and seek to return to "the way things were."
     Christian conservatism refers to a movement begun in the late 19th- and early 20th-century British and American Protestant denominations among evangelicals who reacted energetically against theological and cultural modernism.
Fundamentalists argued that 19th century modernist theologians had misinterpreted or rejected certain doctrines, especially biblical inerrancy, which evangelicals viewed as the fundamentals of Christian faith.
     I will allow feedback on this blog, HOWEVER, let me stress that in no way will I allow comments on this blog to be demeaning to any individual, group, society or government entity. The articles, photographs, videos and comments will be uplifting and edifying, or they will not be allowed.
     That being said, anyone who wishes to submit articles, photographs, videos or the like, will kindly e-mail those submissions to me at rdouglassmahaffey@gmail.com and I will review the material and post it to this blog with the submitter's name in the credits of the submission. 
     Feel free to e-mail PRIVATE prayer requests to that same e-mail and they will be looked at, prayed over and responded to. Know that all prayer requests will be lifted up to God and treated with the utmost respect, confidentiality and honor as is necessary for Christian fellowship and relationships made between myself and the submitter.
     I hope that you find answers to questions, a smile from the glory of the godly atmosphere found in this blog, and a welcoming virtual "hand-shake" from me, the publisher of The Wise Conservative.

Sincerely,
R. Douglass Mahaffey
