Proverbs 20:19 GW Whoever goes around as a gossip tells secrets. Do not associate with a person whose mouth is always open.
Do I listen to gossip, including the gossip that passes as "news?" Do I read gossip magazines and fill my mind with innuendos and rumor? Do I pass on those juicy tidbits of untruth, twisted truth and often just plain lies, whether propaganda by the media, official, co-worker, or friend?
Am I a gossip?
Sin has consequences far beyond what we can possibly imagine. Gossip hurts people.
Do I keep my mind out of the gossip gutter and on Christ, truth and His love? Gossip is not love.
Help me, Jesus, guard my eyes, my ears...and my mouth. Amen.
