A mature Christian can reach a state where the love of God reigns supreme in the heart. No one can be perfect in an absolute way, as God is. But it is possible to be perfect in love to God.
Christians should seek to apply their spiritual and moral values to the political process rather than politicize the church.
Church members should meet regularly in order to be accountable to each other about how each person is living the Christian life.
