***IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Whitestone Fellowship, Whitestone2020.com and Michael J. Young, Sr., do not endorse political parties on this site. We do, however, endorse policies which align with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Bible. If a political party happens to endorse or policy, a plank of a platform or a program which aligns with the teachings, doctrines and practices of the Bible, we consider that to be coincidental, and we cooperate in those cases as a co-belligerent only.
(A CO-BELIGERENT is someone who may not have any sufficient basis for taking the right position, but takes the right positions on a single issue. I can join with this person without any danger as long as I realize that he is not an ALLY, that we are cooperating only on a single issue.
1. So when it comes to issues of the common good, such as proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, ending abortions, preserving religious freedom, healing racial divisions, or relieving poverty, we can be CO-BELLIGERENTS and cooperate with people or organizations who do not share our Christian convictions. But we must not be drawn into becoming full ALLIES and careful not to disclose detail about our organizations, personnel or our ongoing methods, lest our CO-BELLIGERENTS would use these against us on other issues.
2. Secondarily, but just as important, we are defined by our associations. This can hamper the effectiveness of our mission going forward.
3. Finally, we can be INFLUENCED by close relationships and continuing associations. Should this happen, be certain you are at risk of losing your “Savor and Light“, and if that happens you are rendered impotent.)
