“Philophron” is used in 1 Peter 3:8. “philóphro¯n: to think, have a mindset. Friendly, courteous, benign (1Peter 3:8). Deriv.: philophróno¯s (G5390), in a friendly or kind manner.”

Christian bloggers should purposefully express our political beliefs with gentleness and respect, with the intention of setting the example for non-Christians. We’re not all going to agree. We don’t need to agree. But we can debate the issues in such a way that the debate glorifies God and points people to Christ. We’re challenging Christian bloggers who write about politics to write at least one post a week until the election – and hopefully after it – that adheres to the following guidelines.

* Consistent with 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and Ephesians 4:15
* Assumes goodwill and good intentions for our political opponents
* Wherever possible list supporting reasons why they have good intentions
* Negative statements are not personal and are factual
* If negative statements are conclusions, the facts that led to the conclusion are referenced
* Negative statements support the argument and are not gratuitous
