Pride makes us savor gossip.The solution to gossip is love, for Jesus and His sweeter fellowship, for His church, and for your neighbor. ““If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.” - Matthew 18:15 NIV I was walking on a slippery floor earlier today, carrying some groceries. When I recognized the danger, I shortened my steps so I was more stable. When you’re in a situation where you could sin, be still and know that He is God. Take smaller steps, and flee if you see it coming.

Praise God for discernment of gossip and speaking necessary truths! I therefore bind to hell one speaking in a damaging way of another while binding one to speak in a way that builds up the good in another in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone speaking in a damaging way of another while lacking to speak in a way that builds up the good in another, in accordance with this word and proverbs 18:21, 1 thessalonians 5:11 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!

Im glad John Piper has answered this question. One of the leaders in my church began to share with me numerous sinful problems. The leader claimed to share these matters with me given they trusted me as a result of my growing faith, but at some point, the sharing of such matters felt meaningless. Moreso, right then and there, I surely knew that everything I shared with the leader has been spread to the ears of others and based on that likely assumption, I lost the incentive to share with the leader my personal life. Without confidentiality, you're sharing your information through a delayed megaphone. I too am glad how John Piper has defined gossip; it verifies my convictions. Please pray for the members in my church🙏

Take care with this: it can be easy to fall into, I think, especially in regards to - say, politics. Guard your heart, and remember to pray for those you love as Christ said - and to love those with whom you disagree, even if they are your enemies (as Christ said!). I've a long way to go, but Jesus is faithful.

I've been struggling with determining if I partake in gossip at work or not.... it's hard to pinpoint though being in management....

I will remember this if I get the promotion at my job. I like to keep to self and endure, but their sometimes be negativity with the stress of the job and I guess management getting on management. It concerns me a bit although I wanna grow and challenge myself with Christ as center. Just hold to him tightly and live in him, and maybe is spare time or when alone look at your bible app for some refreshment from the lost world. Psalms 16:11 has been my favorite verse so far. And even centered as a prayer. Stay strong brother ✊🏾🙏🏾😊

She told people about What happened but only shared what I did, though what she shared was true for my part, she didn’t talk about her contribution to the issue. This has made me insecure because she’s told so many people in the community... idk how to go about it.

@godfreyshalom35513 жыл бұрын
I think perhaps we should examine our motive in such sharing. As well as asking 'is this information really mine to share'. A helpful acronym I have learnt in trying to check whether I should spread something is T-H-I-N-K... So the idea is to ask myself, whatever I'm about to disclose about someone other than myself Is it... True? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? Kind? L

I want to help my friend Maddie who has been gossiping for as long as I've known her. She partakes in gossip especially when she's with her girlfriends, and it's not pretty. At this moment I'm trying to take advantage of every opportunity I can to evangelize to her. Am I expected as a Christian to avoid spending time with her because of her tendencies? How do I evangelize to her then?

Why does the definition of gossip cover such a broad range of social situations? Simply talking about good things about somebody else towards someone else when they're not there is gossip? I don't see how these things could turn into a negative situation unless what you were saying was literally alai or was just blatantly negative about that person what if what you are sharing to that person is truthful AND they are already aware?!? I don't understand.. I thought gossip is something that we all do all the time 24/7 and it just a normal part of life. Now I'm being told that most part of my normal life is completely sinful and I don't even know how to define gossip whatsoever the definition of gossip just got much more confusing.. when the history teacher talks about Adolf Hitler whom is not present in the class is that considered gossip? I don't understand man I want to tho

It depends. Sometimes we tend to put others down when venting to someone, because of our stressful state. Before telling anyone about your bad day at work (or whatever is bothering you), seek the Lord in prayer, read the Word, and dwell on His promises. Hopes this helps. God bless you.

Pastor Piper saying NOT to vote in this election was WRONG and he should apologize immediately. Who is the Christian between Mike Spence and Kamala Harris should the Presidential candidate die? Democrat party platform is straight from Romans 1. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." - Proverbs 29:2 "Should you HELP THE WICKED and LOVE THOSE who HATE the LORD? Therefore the WRATH of the LORD is upon YOU.” 2 Chronicles 19:2 "I call heaven and earth to record this day AGAINST you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and CURSING: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that BOTH THOU and THY SEED MAY LIVE.” Deuteronomy 30:19 We are voting for president...NOT PASTOR. Pastor Piper, I've heard you preach excellence before and I want to thank you for that. It's just on this topic, your advice was horrible.
