Gossip

The word hisses with the sound of a snake, coiled and ready to strike. Spreading poisoness venom as soon as it leaves the lips. I am anxious to spread painful, false words just because that is who I am. My name is Gossip and I am nobody’s friend. Making up or spreading false reports are strictly forbidden by God. Gossip, slander and false witnessing will undermine families, strain neighborhood relationships and make chaos of trustworthy systems.
Destructive gossip causes problems on all levels of daily life. Even if you do not initiate a lie, you become responsible if you pass it along..Rumors and hearsay are tantalizing, exciting to hear, and make us feel as insiders. But they tear people down. Don’t circulate rumors, squelch them !!
At times, we may be surrounded by people who gossip about us or criticize us. Verbal cruelty can damage us as badly as physical abuse. Rather than answering with hateful words, we can talk with God about the problem.


When faith is greater than fear, faith wins !!!!!!!
