A wise person once told me, "If someone gossips to you about someone else, chances are they are gossiping to someone else about you!"
We live in a world where everybody loves a juicy story. Why do you think People, the Enquirer and Star magazines are so popular? In fact, every neighborhood has the queen or king of gossip. Every workplace has one too. And sadly, many if not most churches have a gossip ring as well.
Are you the kind of person who leans in on gossip, or leans away? The Bible warns us against using our tongue for tearing others down. Let's face it, we have all said things we wish we could take back. Sometimes, our mouth takes over before our brain has processed the potential damage that could be done. (WWJD?)
As far as people are concerned, there are two kinds...those who fill you up, and those who drain you out. What kind of person are you? No matter the answer today, God has all the tools and resources to turn you into a "filler-upper!"
Join us this Sunday for a little talk called "Get Real" at C3. It's just what the doctor ordered!
