Political Correctness: A Tool for Control 0:00 Hey. Welcome back. This is gonna be a good chapter. Chapter 7 in the well versed small group series is political correctness.0:08 I wanna talk to you about political correctness. Political correctness is, as 1 of my friends says, a weapon of mass distraction. That's what it is. Political0:20 correctness, the issue is not about, quote, being nice or making everybody feel good. The issue is of 1 thing, control. Control and silencing people who disagree0:32 with the PC thought police. I wanna encourage you to be bold. Don't acquiesce the political correctness in our culture. And let me cut to the chase and go deeper. The real0:43 ultimate goal of political correctness is to come against Judeo Christian values, to strike out the values, of the scripture. If it wasn't for that,0:55 let me ask you a question. Why would tolerance become such a 1 way street? Tolerance is a good thing. It was a good word. Used to be. It's a great word. There should be a healthy tolerance we have of each other.1:07 We get that. Nobody has to lecture us on tolerance. But this political correctness with their special police enforce enforcement, man, they wanna make sure that1:19 anybody who doesn't agree with them, man, you're out. If you don't agree with them on LBGTQ, for example, or the definition of marriage, man, they'll fire you, they'll fine you,1:31 they'll boycott your state, they'll boycott your business. That's not tolerance, that's intolerance. So I wanna encourage you to be able to stand up against it. We we first encountered this quite a few years ago.1:43 It was back in 2008 when Proposition 8 was going through California. We voted on it then and it passed 53 52.3 percent, I believe it was.1:55 And it was simply 14 words that said, only marriage between a man and woman is recognized in California. That was it. It was that simple. That's what proposition 8 is.2:07 You cannot believe the anger of those who disagree with that definition. It it been around as a definition for 5000 years. It it it's been around a long2:19 time. It's cross cultural. Every country in the world and and even not only Christian so called Christian nations if there's such a thing, but those that are anti Christian, those that are pre Christian,2:31 those that are post Christian, those that are you get the picture. That notion that a man and woman come together to form marriage has been around for a long time with very few variants. And so there are people who said,2:42 oh, I just believe marriage is a man and woman, affirming a 5000 year tradition. Oh my goodness. You should have seen the avalanches of hate, how hateful you are. In fact, they said, proposition2:54 8 is proposition hate, they called it. Just for believing what the Bible says and what cultures accepted forever. And then what happened3:06 is all of a sudden, churches had to have security, pastors had to have security, and on and on went. If these people are so tolerant, why do we need all the security and protection we have to have as3:18 around? And they bully by fear and intimidation. And I wanna say, don't put up with that stuff. Don't follow political correctness. They we're in a battle for3:29 truth right now. And if freedom of expression means anything, it means I have the right to to stand up for biblical conviction. And I urge you in a PC3:42 driven culture to stand up against this kind of control, manipulation, dominance, and oppression of our first amendment rights, the freedom to3:54 express ourselves.3:58 So this chapter kind of fired us up, guys. Mhmm. Political correctness is nothing more and nothing less than control and manipulation in an attempt to silence Judeo ChristianProp 8: Intolerance Masquerading as Tolerance 4:10 values. Doctor Garlow mentions political correctness is a weapon used to destroy the messenger of righteousness. And all political correctness is bullying people and becoming timid. But as Christians, we4:21 are called to be bold and without fear. Yes. Definitely. And my grandpa didn't have to face the speech police, you know. He could speak boldly the truth. Right.4:29 You know.4:29 And I want that for our generation.4:31 Yes.4:31 And we are in a battle for the truth, but we will win this battle.In this video 0:00 Political Correctness: A Tool for Control4:10 Prop 8: Intolerance Masquerading as ToleranceComments No comments yet.
