Political Correctness Lethal Weapon of Choice

Political Correctness: A trend that wants to make everything fair, equal and just to all by suppressing thought, speech and practice in order to achieve that goal.

While I ponder what it means to be politically correct (P.C.), I have come to realize how powerful this terminology has become and the huge impact it has on our homes, our schools, and even in our churches. It is everywhere. It has changed how we view truth because of its frequent attempt to justify sin and its reckless behavior. If we allow political correctness to dictate our speech and/or belief we are undoubtedly opening the door to disobedience and will be establishing a watered down version of Truth just to avoid controversy.

In all likelihood the realization is that many of us, including myself, have been fashioned into this way of thinking for the fear of being called a bigot. It is time for us to move past these fears and away from P. C. way of think to living a life that is spiritually correct no matter the cost. And in order for this to take place we need to recognize the world’s goal is to chip away at each individual’s moral fiber by denying Biblical Truth, Christian values, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and moral absolutes. If the man/church can be looked upon as being wrong - subsequently the Gospel can be made to look weak.  We have to realize it is not the attack on truth that causes the decay; it is attack on man and his lack for standing on truth that causes the Gospel to appear insignificant. It is time we start living towards what we say we believe and our reward, and stop fearing political correctness to dictate our actions. This is made possible by continually pointing back to the favor of Jesus Christ. Showing that in Him the promise of God has been fulfilled and salvation can be found. In Him peace and joy is made possible. In Jesus, and only Jesus, there is the true power/ strength/ and glory… None of which is in the power of our culture.
As believers in Christ we are commanded to love others.  This includes the unlovable, those who make us uncomfortable, as well as those who may not know Him, etc. It is about us loving as Christ loved.  As we stand against all the lies of the world in order to bring honor and glory to our Heavenly Father, King Jesus.

I leave you with: The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. (Ps 19:7-11)

What’s in your closet?

Whenever asked “What’s in your closet” naturally our first response would be clothes and shoes but when taking a closer look we find there’s more. I will be the first to admit I am a woman who loves clothes, shoes, purses, and the accessories that pulls a great look together. This leaves me having more than enough. So, with each change of the season I tackle the daunting task of ridding my closet of things I no longer want or need. But to be honest this deed brings forth anguish each time I undertake this job. My distress comes when I pull out certain garments which I continually place back in my closet year after year. I know these items are no use to me but for some reason I have a sense of comfort knowing they are safely tucked away. While I earnestly work on my seasonal ritual God’s word “TRUST ME” while the verse from 2 Timothy "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” start to permeate deep within my soul. I quick

Why "living Outside the Grey"

Why this title “Living Outside the Grey”. As my heart longs to live as Christ, I sometimes find myself being morphed into the world’s image. As I become accustomed to its morals and standards this somehow causes the line of Truth to be pushed back; thus causing the grey matter to appear. In order for me to live unto Him I have to break away from the requirements of society and cling to the Truth of the Master. I am sure this stance will not come without cost but in order for me to grow into the likes of Him it is vital for me to press onward so others can see it is possible to live solely on God’s principals, no matter the social order. I am sharing this journey with you since I believe there are others who desire to live in the fullness of our Heavenly Father, without grey substance. This voyage will unbelievingly bring forth questions, concerns, and possibly some fear as we transform into the likeness of Jesus. I am looking forward to seeing God restore hearts and minds as we

The legacy of a great man

Image
On March 8, 2011 @ 4:15pm my eldest brother William went home to be with the Lord. It was a rainy Tuesday and I wonder if the angels were crying because of rejoicing or because of the earthly loss? I am lead to believe it was a little of both. William’s current lineage: Being a son, an eldest brother to three siblings, an uncle to six and great-uncle to seven, a husband to the love of his life, a father to three amazing children one son whom he raised as his own, and two daughters whom were his little princesses, a father-in-law to two outstanding son-in-loves, and last but not the lesser - a grandfather to three wonderful grandchildren. His legacy: He was honest, kind, gentle, soft spoken, and good-humored. He was a man who loved to be a jokester “all in good fun”; he was a hard worker, a great provider, and very dedicated. He loved to laugh and smile even in some trying times. Maybe most importantly, he was a man who loved the Lord with all his heart, mind, and soul while being a gre
