Gossip, Gossip, and more Gossip. Everyone has their pets and I think this is one of the worst. No matter which side you are on, spilling the beans or just listening to those beans being spilt, the outcome is never good.
Just last Sunday night my pastor was preaching about character and I have to say that this hits directly home when talking about gossip. Just remember you must speak truth and also have mercy. Gossip is almost always negative and usually hurts someones feelings.
Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
Exodus 23:1 (KJV)
We all must forgive and go on. Because as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ we have to work with and see each other weekly. So like I read on a local sign the other day " a spoken word can never be unspoken, so THINK"!

iy is so easy to get caught up in a group conversation, to join in on the tongue lashing, but what we need to be doing is coming together to talk to our father about the needs of each other.....good post
