It's time for us to get to the issue and change our mindset.

Rumors... don't you just hate the word, it's ugly because rumors are ugly...

It's likely that at some point in your life you have been the subject of a rumor. 

So, what are we suppose to do about it? How do we handle it? 

First things first: Pray, tell God what's happening and how you feel; ask Him for peace, wisdom, protection, clarity and kindness in your heart. 

Then, talk to someone you trust, tell them how you feel and if they have wisdom to offer you, take it! 

Remain Calm 

Possible Solutions: Address the situation / person or avoid it and dismiss it. 

Keep doing you boo! Live your life in truth with integrity and person. 

Remember their words do not define you. Your identity, value and worth come from the Lord alone! 

Don't bad mouth them back, pray for them.... really! 

** Don't participate in the rumor mill, let's shut it down**

Scripture Reference 

1 Timothy 4:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Romans 12:12

Basic Training Principle

1. Prayer: One on one time with God and Prayer with and for others. 

Don Whitney, the Professor of Biblical Spirituality and Associate Dean of the School of Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville.  Says Now the goal of practicing any given discipline is not about doing as much as it is about being: being like Jesus, being with Jesus. But the biblical way to grow in being more like Jesus is through the rightly motivated doing of the biblical, spiritual disciplines.

The key verse in all this is 1 Timothy 4:7, which says, "Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness" (NASB). The goal is godliness, but the biblical means to that is to discipline yourself by the power of the Holy Spirit rightly motivated. We are to discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness. The practical ways of doing that are things that you do.
