HUMBLE, HONEST AND COURAGEOUS

It goes without saying that Christianity has a perception problem.  At the heart of the problem is the simple fact that Christians are more known for what we’re against than what we’re for.  But the real problem isn’t perception.  We as Christians are often quick to point out what’s wrong with our culture.  And we certainly need the moral courage to stand up for what’s right in the face of what’s wrong.  I live [in Washington, D.C.] in the bastion of political correctness, where it is wrong to say that something is wrong.  And that’s wrong.  If we have to choose between political correctness and biblical correctness, we must choose biblical correctness every time.  But before confronting what’s wrong with our culture, we need to be humble enough, honest enough, and courageous enough to repent of what’s wrong with us.
