building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Ephesians 429. God hates gossip.

Look at the list of sins he puts gossip into. It is there alongside

haters of God and inventors of evil and malice. Gossip is immensely destructive. When you talk about someone to someone else in a

negative way, even if what you are saying is true, you are sinning against God and you are

hurting the person you are talking about and you are hurting yourself.

Gossiping about others damages your own credibility.

It also damages the relationship between them and the person you are talking to, and it hurts the person you are talking about.

Gossip may make you feel better about something that irritates you about someone, in the long run gossip hurts everyone.

Let's pray. Heavenly Lord, may the words of our mouth and the actions of our heart reflect only the grace you have demonstrated to all mankind.

Our words have the power to harm and to heal. Whenever we speak, let us demonstrate

the gentleness and charity you show to all. Amen. You're going to be. You're going to be here. you're Do you want to better understand the Bible and get biblical answers to those who ask you about your faith.
