I will be the first to admit that the sanctity of life and the preservation of religious freedom are not even among the top ten concerns of most voters. But those issues should be of primary importance to those who call themselves Christians.

With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others.

A sure indicator of true religion is a concern for the poor of the earth.

The media seems to think only abortion and gay marriage are religious issues. Poverty is a moral issue, it's a faith issue, it's a religious issue.

To speak against religion (the Christian) is breaking down the bond of good government.

Being Christian towards poor people means trying to improve their lives and give them back some self-respect.

Christian conservatives care about their families eating. They're concerned about energy independence. They're concerned about functional government.

When we think about global warming at all, the arguments tend to be ideological, theological and economic.

I've said that, that I've felt like as Christians and particularly even as Republicans, we needed to address issues that touched the broader perspective, and that included disease, hunger, poverty, homelessness, the environment.

I had someone a month ago tell me at a campaign lunch that you can't be a Christian and a Democrat. I think that that view is dissipating very, very fast.
