Hello, and good morning readers:
I know I have not posted in a while, but I wanted to share the streaming faith bible nuggets I've been receiving lately about gossip and the tongue. The various teachers, mentors, ministers and contributors have taken their texts from the famous scriptures in the book of James. The book of James is a very short book, but oh what a powerful message. The new revelation that I received from these snippets was that all of us should use our tongues to lift up and not tear down. God does indeed hate talebearers or in our current vernacular busy bodies or gossips. It is just as hurtful to spread a slanderous rumor as it is to spread a lie. Both gossip methods have the potential to ruin life or a family.
At the workplace privacy is the best policy. I am not implying that you be anti-social, but there are definitely haters there that are out to ruin you because they just don't have anything else to do. Unfortunately, in the church it can be worse.
Be wise in whom you tell your secrets to...chances are there is at least one person besides their mom they will tell it too and then you are labeled with the scarlet letter. Pray first about your troubles and if you still can't break through, then you can go to a spiritually strong friend that has gone through a similar situation and can coach you through it.
Let your tongue be a weapon only to tear down the kingdom of satan and not your fellow man. We are not judges. We are witnesses. For you comedians, the bible says let your yes be yes and your no be no. For you brown nosers, false flattery is lying,
remember the truth will set you free. If you've been negative and a gossip, repent, if you are still nursing a grudge against those that hurt you and yours, forgive, and learn the lesson. Speak life to your situation and blessings to others. Be blessed and have a nice day.
