Political correctness involves upholding basic human rights by ensuring that language, principles, values, and actions are not offensive, discriminatory, or dehumanizing to any specific culture or society. While these principles, norms, and values sometimes align with those of the Bible, they are not always in agreement and are often shaped by a particular elite group (not necessarily the majority) who attempt to impose their personal beliefs on society.

These opinions and values are often considered fairly “neutral,” as they are intended to be normative for everyone, regardless of race, gender, gender preference, religion, or belief systems within a specific society. They reflect a kind of “world spirit or attitude” and are inherently humanistic. The values of a certain elite—mainly because of their prominence in the media and entertainment world—determine what is deemed politically correct or incorrect, valid or invalid. This is primarily expressed through verbal or written communication, music, lifestyle, fashion, and various forms of broadcast media. Whether politically correct conduct aligns with Biblical teachings is generally seen as irrelevant.

People tell us that there are pastors who consult sangomas to help them obtain authority and power.  We do not know if this is true.  What we however have experienced ourselves is church-people who have tried to intimidate us by telling us how powerful and politically connected they are, so that we would give in to their demands.

Power and authority are important. Won’t you read, listen to, or watch Prof Möller’s address about authority and power of God in your life.  It is a Christ-centered perspective with significant implications.

I trust you will enjoy this Biblical perspective especially in our power crazy world.
