In a ti olitical correctness, many

words ave become controversial. Afraid

of o[rending through carelessness, some

Sople 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."
