Rumors

I wonder why people love to talk about other people. Spreading rumors about other people is a bad habit. We don't have the right to judge others, only God can do that. There's a lot of good things to do than spreading rumors. Gossip can break the trust of  the people around us. Spreading rumors only hurts others and destroys our credibility. 

There are bible verse about controlling our tongues so that we do not speak evil against others and tells us to do more than discuss other people’s lives.

Here are some of the bible verse that we should always remember and follow:

Leviticus 19:16 – “Do not go about spreading slander among your people. Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life. I am the Lord.”  

Proverbs 11:13 – “A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.” 

Romans 1:29 – “They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips.” 

1 Timothy 5:13 – “Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to.” 

Matthew 7:1 – “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”  

Proverbs 18:8 – “The words of gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man’s inmost parts.”
