Slanderous Gossip

by | |
Proverbs 11:12-13:
12 Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.
13 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

Gossip about others simply reveals how little you know. Often the wisest person is the quietest, humblest, person. If you are spreading inappropriate information, even correct inappropriate information, it shows you can't be trusted. I've come to realize that anytime you gossip with someone, you are telling that person never to share anything private with you. Don't forget, communities don't quickly forget.
