Proverbs 26:17-22; James
3:11-12
Does a spring pour forth from
the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12 Can a fig tree,
my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can
a salt pond yield fresh water.
In every family, in every
neighborhood, in every friend group and in every church there is
gossip. It runs right down the middle of every human heart and it
is quite possibly the most diabolical virus one can be infected
with. It has torn apart more communities, families, relationships,
and churches than perhaps any other one thing. Yet, when is the
last time we had a serious conversation about such a sickness? As
God's holy people, our speech matters because it bears witness to
the world about who God is. We reveal a lot to the world about our
own ego when we tear others down. We can do better. We gotta do
better. Join us as we continue our Taboo Series with the slippery
topic of Gossip.
