Bible

[tenac]

As born-again believers there is nothing that can probably get us into trouble in Gods eyes any faster than our mouth which is connected to our heart! And if you are not saved im not talking about our heart that beats and pumps blood...im talking about our biblical spiritual heart...who we are as a person....in our spirit and soul. There is no such thing as idle words or casual conversion when we are talking about other folks be it true or not. Even if we are talking to family...even our spouse...its just not what God wants to hear from us. Gossip...backbiting...slander...bearing false wittiness...no good ever comes from it so why do so many folks do it? The fact of the matter is God has said that it is sin! Plenty of scripture addresses gossip and tells us it is sin and as we know that in Gods eyes...sin is sin...so we cant just try and write it off as no big deal....Theres an old earthly saying...If you cant say something nice about someone...then just dont say nothing at all....and another comes to my mind...if folks would pay more attention to the dirt on their own porch they wouldnt have the time to concern themsleves with the dirt on their neighbors porch. And as my dad use to tell me if a man tells you something...keep it to yourself...if he wants anybody else to know it he will tell him. Why does so many good folks have a problem living by all that? There is NEVER any good that comes from gossip. Ole Apostle James was pretty point blank about the tongue. On the other hand...when folks start to tell us something about someone...why do we stand there and listen? Is that not just as bad when all we have to do is say...i really dont care to hear that! Id sure enough rather make them mad than to participate in their sin of gossip...Think about it!
