Stop - Day 1 - Gossiping

"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. " - Ephesians 4:29
"A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer [gossiper] separates close friends." - Proverbs 16:28

Yep! Two Bible verses! The first is for yesterday, as I am about to apologize for not doing. This was due to a heavy day and a sleepy me. Anyway, Proverbs 16:28!


There are plenty of dishonest men and gossipers all around the world! But what is gossip? Gossip is when we spread false, embarrassing or rude stories about others and talk about and laugh at their weaknesses, how they look, how they do things etc. Here's an Oxford dictionary definition:

casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details which are not confirmed as true:

.But what does the Bible say? God doesn't want us to spread mean words or dishonest stories about other around. 2 Samuel 9:3 talks about David wanting to show kindness to the remaining house of Saul. We should be asking the same question: Who else can I show the kindness of God too? We need to brings souls to Christ, not GOSSIP!

I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
