The following is Blog post number thirty-one and is actually a repost of the very first Blog entry: It comes from the Cover Flap of the book BECOME PERFECT 2007©.

COVER FLAP

"If one were to actually apply the Spirit, indeed the principles of Christ to the Christian Faith and through that prism, view the functional definition of Conservatism, then, one can only judge that Christian Conservatism is a shadow. It is not real.

          Evaluating through the prism of fruits from conduct, one must conclude, that Christian Conservatism is not Christ-like in conduct by its leadership, or in the movements results.

          Represented by the so called Religious Right, as a movement with fruit bearing conduct, Christian Conservatism, has done enormous damage to the Christian Faith in America. Indeed the Christian Faith has been high-jacked by the Religious Right!

          Causing some who may have proclaimed the Faith, such shame of association, they prefer “Spiritual” as their label, rather than Christian. Yet, they believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior.

          Webster defines Conservatism in this fashion: “The disposition to preserve or restore what is established and traditional and to limit change.”

          The Church of America must indeed become the reality of Conservatism as to the Faith, not the shadow of it. An Almighty God has called and chosen, a lowly, unheard of Black Preacher from Kansas, to bring a word of correction unto the Church of America, as the end of effort draws nigh for those born prior to the year 1950.

          In this hour, it is these folk who represent the great burden on the Christian Faith. At top of mind for this particular generation, is the compelling history that leaves America as a divided house; with manifold divisions as the prism for viewing the world.

          The Religious Right has become the loudest voice of this divide; as a shadow within Christian Conservatism. Which by its fruit as a movement in America is not actually conservative by definition, but rather it is radicalism!

           In this radicalism, of shadow within a shadow, the adherence to the commandments and traditions of Jesus Christ have become marginalized.

           Within the pages of Become Perfect, Brother H. Jeffery Harris, an ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ attempts to restore unto the Church of America, that which must be preserved: the life example, the teachings, and the principles of Jesus Christ that became a Faith, called Christianity.

           This book seeks to reveal the shadows, and reestablish the traditionalist mores of Jesus Christ, for engaging humanity as handed down by the Son of a living God!

           With a profound hope, that the Church of America will receive correction; in so doing, implement the behavioral principles delivered through the Word of an Almighty God: a Word with unyielding expectations about those who are loved by Him!

           At the end of the effort, Become Perfect is a work of faith, and a discovery of God’s truth. And what is that truth? His Father sacrificed Jesus for all humanity; Jesus Christ has left it to individuals to do His sacrifice, which is to love.

           An individual’s love for their neighbor represents the Blood-Sacrifice of Jesus Christ! Now, how is this love revealed? Through our daily conduct, one human to another in forgiveness, mercy, truth and grace, Christ’s love is unmistakable."
