      God Is Not Politically Correct 
      by Dr. Larry Ollison    
        
      God has not changed. The things He disapproved of during the time
of Noah, Abraham, Moses and Paul, He still disapproves of today. God is not
an evolving creature that changes His character depending upon His
environment. God's Word always has been and will always be true.

      Growing up in the United States of America, I have become
accustomed to democracy. We vote on everything. In America, school leaders,
community leaders, state leaders, and national leaders are all in their
elected positions because they were the most popular. Americans tend to
think that if something is popular, it's right. 

      When it comes to character, righteousness, and the spiritual things
of God, nothing could be further from the truth. God's kingdom is not a
democracy. 

      Everything God created was created by and for His Son, Jesus. We
were created to fellowship with Him. It may come as a shock to some people,
but in the Kingdom of God, God is the King. We don't vote on the rules. We
don't debate the rules. We don't argue the rules. Our duty is to willingly
obey the rules of the King.

      The good news is, God is a good God and He rewards those who
believe in Him, and receive His Son by faith, with eternal life and a
multitude of good gifts. God is the God of love. In fact, God is love. God
is a good God and He is just. God is light and God is love. However, God is
not politically correct nor will He ever be. 

      So the point is this. When you come to the point of decision in
your life on any subject, never make your decision because of what is
politically correct. Make your decision based on what the Word of God says.
Only then will you choose correctly. 

      Reference Scriptures:

      "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name
which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth."
(Philippians 2:9-10)

      "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." (1 John
4:8)

      "This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to
you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5)

      "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes
down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow
of turning." (James 1:17)

      "God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day."
(Psalm 7:11)
