Have You Ever Thought About....

...how hungry people are for gossip? Someone can go two years or more and not see or speak to another party, but the first sound of a juicy tale will send them like a snake in the grass, slithering up next to their prey, ever so quietly gathering information to distort and possibly destroy others.

Hypathetically, of course, let's say someone used this blog to trace down another blog to find this juicy tale. Yes, "the tale" is out in public domain for anyone to read. But did they pray for these people when they read the other blog? Doubtful. Did they call in their husband on it? Yeah, probably, but he won't stand up for the right. He's pretty slitering himself. Can they wait until they see a mutual friend or aquaintance to tell what they "know" now? Nope.

To these people, I would have to say that if they are eager to read something good, try James chapter 3...

If you know someone like that, the Bible tells us what to do in Romans 16:17 "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."

But as I said, this is totally hypathetical. How would I know if someone could do that anyway? My point is.....well.....you get my point.


Proverbs 16:26-28 "He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth
craveth it of him. An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there
is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer
separateth chief friends."
