The Church Killer: Gossip

July 15, 2018 • Ben Ito

Jesus didn't gossip; He did not slander; nor did any other falsehood come from His mouth. Perhaps one of the most beautiful things about Christ is that we never have to doubt what He thinks of us! The mind and heart of God is revealed in His Word, and He never wants you to be confused or unclear about His thoughts or intentions for you. Isn't this comfort and freedom? May God's people be known as those who are like Christ, who refrain from sinful speech, lovingly speaking the truth at all times.
