In today’s “PC” world, watering down the truth falls into the same category as opposing it. Political Correctness ignores the truth, in order to not offend. Christians cannot oppose the truth. That goes against every fiber in our being. The Holy Spirit is Truth, so when we ignore, water down, or even oppose it, we break the connection with Him. It’s not possible to break a connection with God and expect God to be there to bail you out of the mess you created when you decided to be “PC” because you didn’t want to offend someone. Get over it. Accept the fact that the Truth will always offend anyone who tries to deny it. It’s not you offending, it’s the Truth’s job that does that. Whose side are we on when we suppress (truth) what God commands us to speak? The only thing we need to do is pursue knowing Truth. For when we do, it sets us free; free from stressing over what to say when someone confronts us on a topic we aren’t thoroughly knowledgeable in. Get to know God on a daily basis and you will know the truth. And you will be able to stand during times of opposition. It’s how God works. He empowers us to stand even when we may not know exactly what to say. When you speak truth, you never have to worry about what you said.
8 For we cannot oppose the truth, but must always stand for the truth.
