Today I want to tackle a subject that many of us may respond with, “OUCH!” Right?
I am also sharing a very personal and life-changing (yet shameful) story of how I became more aware of my words and thoughts toward others.
We will be talking about gossip. But not just the fact that we shouldn’t gossip or why it is bad. But WHY do we do it? Are we truly honoring others above ourselves when we choose to speak (or even think!) negatively about them? And what are we teaching our children when we ourselves are not modeling the humble attitude that Christ taught us? Not only are gossip, complaining, and negative words detrimental to our relationships, they reveal a deeper more ugly side of our flesh. But there is hope…The Spirit transforms us!
Join me today as I tackle this difficult, but necessary topic so that we can live in relationships as God truly intended for us.

Great message! I think my struggle, in addition to the gossip, is letting people continue their gossip to me. I feel like I am going to offend them if I say something. It makes the situation awkward. I always try to reply with something positive about what is gossiped about.
Yes, absolutely agree. Good point!
