Daily Devotion: The Politically Correct Man

Bible Reading: Matthew 23:13-30

Key Verse: Verse 13 – "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."

Key Words: woe unto you

In case you are attempting to be "politically correct," here are a few corrections you might want to consider.
  • Say “vertically challenged” instead of short.
  • Say “economically marginalized” instead of poor.
  • Just as the stupid are now “cerebrally challenged.”
  • The old are “chronologically gifted.”
  • Use “client of the correctional system” rather than inmate.
  • “Follicularly challenged” is preferred over bald.
  • There are no longer any lazy people, just those who are “motivationally dispossessed.”
  • Say “non-waged,” never unemployed.
  • Someone you incorrectly called fat is now a “person of substance.”
  • Although it may look like a bankrupt savings and loan, it is actually a “fiscally challenged institution.”
Are you kidding me? My mother never heard nor knew anything about political correctness when correcting us as children. I remember on one occasion after I had tried one of my many exploits, (this one happened to be filling the tub full of tadpoles) she looked at me and said in her stern voice, “Are you really that dumb or are you pretending?” Not only did my mom not know of political correctness, neither does God. Note Matthew 23:13-15, “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.”

So much for political correctness! What we need today are those who follow Paul’s admonition to “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15). And may God bless you as you do so.
