Bible is the only source of theology and Christian doctrine.
Churches should be encouraged to teach and preach biblical truth on moral issues and to urge their members to vote according to their beliefs, convictions, and values.
Every individual should try to be open to others and willing to be changed. Therefore, community members should meet regularly in order to open their hearts; share their knowledge, thoughts and experience.
