Most of us can recall a time where we either listened to gossip, spread gossip, or were the topic of gossip. Gossip is something that people in today's society look at as something fun and harmless to do with friends or bring up when the conversation is lacking. As Christians, we are to live differently and stand apart from this world. There are many verses in the Bible about taming the tongue and how our words hold so much weight. If you are wondering if gossip is actually a sin, or how to recognize gossip in practical ways, this episode is for you!
Thank you so much for listening!
Scripture in this episode: 2 Corinthians 12:20
According to Scripture we gossip whenever we:
Tell a secret (Proverbs 11:13)
Talk too much about others (Proverbs 16:28)
Use our words to add fuel to a fight (Proverbs 26:20)
Discuss topics we shouldn’t (1 Timothy 5:13)
We are also gossiping any time our words cause division (Proverbs 16:28). Instagram: ourcupoverflows
