Gossip

Proverbs 11:12-13 (Amplified Bible)
He who belittles and despises his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding keeps silent.
He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy and faithful in spirit keeps the matter hidden.

What is a gossiper? Gossipers speak of the faults and failings of others, or reveal potentially embarrassing or shameful details regarding the lives of others without their knowledge or approval. Even if they mean no harm, it is still gossip. Why do people in the church thank that they have to tell every thing they know or thank they know about a brother or sister? Did you know, Have you heard, You wont believe this. Is any of that edifying our brothers or sisters? 1 Thessalonians 5:11 amplified says. Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another. You have probably heard it said that the army of God is the only army that kill its wounded .The Lord gave me a song a few years ago here are a few of the lines.
You talk about your brother because you thank its smart. Maybe he has sin but Jesus knows his heart. Maybe if you would pray for him and take him by the hand. Instead of talking about him, he would be a better man. Pray instead of talking help your brother all you can. Remember Jesus told us judge not your fellow man.
Have a Blessed week.
