Ate any good gossip???

I love God's Word, it so alive! Read this:



Proverbs 18:8

8 The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,

And they go down into the inmost body. 



Why is gossip so enticing? When we hear someone say a name but don't catch the details it drives folks almost crazy until they find out what is going on. The flesh sure is powerful. Just like this verse says the gossip is tasty! We get a little and then as it goes down into the body we crave more and more. This is exactly why the tabloids do so well. People want gossip. Just look at folks like Paris Hilton, Lyndsey Lohan, and Justin Beiber. Myself I could careless what theses folks are doing, but the papers and news stay updated on everywhere and everything they are doing. I guess I shouldn't say I careless but would be much more interested if they were using their lives to bring people to God not push then away by wanting to be like them.



So ask yourself this morning are you looking for some good ole gossip to digest this morning? Remember God warns us to stay away from this kind of stuff....we are to build folks up not tear them down!
