by R. Wood

In a ti olitical correctness, many







words ave become controversial. Afraid







of o ending through carelessness, some







Sfcple go to elaborate lengths to avoid any
P





ommunication that another may deem as








insulting. As Christians, however, we must







not allow ourselves to become caught up in







this politically correct trend. We must never







neglect our calling: to SPEAK THE WORD.







God gave us a commandment to preach the







Gospel to all men, regardless of race, creed,







or religion. We cannot allow ourselves to







become so caught up in the secular standard







of good speech that we neglect our calling








to be ambassadors for Christ. The impact we







have by speaking the Word without hinder­







ing it outweighs any impact we have when







we modify our speech to fit a standard with







which we do not hold. Proverbs 25:11 states,







"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in







pictures of silver."
