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)
