We hear much on the TV about being “Politically Correct.” It has some precepts which are correct. It tries to encourage or insist on citizens using certain words and phrases which are kinder, and less inflammatory, which is good! But without God it is merely man’s opinion.
However, we Christians are endeavoring to be “Biblically Correct.” Christians have been using kinder and less offensive words and phrases for centuries. Consider 1 Corinthians 10:32, “Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the Church of God” (not causing to stumble, a smooth road). “Giving no cause for offense in anything” (2 Cor. 6:3).
We Christians are taught to love our neighbor and even our enemies. We are taught to be kind, pure, godly, and submissive to government and it’s law officers.
We have a far superior list of correct words, procedures and practices. We endeavor to be “Biblically Correct.” Let us be faithful to God our Father and remain “Biblically Correct” (2 Tim. 1:13, 1 Pet. 1:23-25, 1 Jn 2:5, Jn 1:1-5).
