Gossip

"The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts."
Proverbs 18:8

It is something that we see spread all over the tabloids, and those entertainment shows and even in our places of work or schools. Gossip is something that sells. For some reason so many of us have this need to know what is going in everyone's life and then we feel this need to share with tons of people.

The thing is that gossip is such a harmful thing. It is something that I try to stay away from especially as a believer in Christ because He tells us to. I wouldn't want to get involved in it anyways. Any sort of conversation that is done to bring someone else down to make ourselves feel better is completely and totally pointless if you ask me.

Plus why is it any of our business to know what anyone else is doing? Does it really matter is it going to change our lives? Probably not. Instead it could hurt someone else. You wonder why their are so many depressed people and people committing suicide I in my opinion I think that gossip is the source of some of that.

If you are a believe in Christ this is something that you need to be staying away from. If you hear people around you gossiping get away from it. Don't become involved because that isn't glorifying God at all, we need to flee and build people up not become involved in tearing people down to make ourselves feel better. This life isn't about us anyways it is all about living for Christ and bringing Him glory and honor. You never heard Jesus gossip our talk about anyone else and since we are to live like Jesus we need to act like Jesus. Spread words of life.
