Summary
Gossip is the most normalized yet destructive sin in modern society. The pastor examines biblical passages showing gossip spreads bad news, plants destructive seeds, ruins relationships, and reveals the true state of one's heart. Listeners learn to combat gossip by encouraging others behind their backs, going directly to the person involved, and trusting God's goodness rather than throwing verbal spears.
Highlights
Gossip is always bad news when you really think about it. So then gossip's got to be the opposite of the gospel because the gospel is good news.
When you gossip you water seed and condemnation. But when you don't gossip you water seed and love.
Love keeps no record of wrong. It's powerful. When you have the Spirit of God inside of you, you don't have to strive to keep no record of wrong because the Spirit of God will let you view that person the way that God sees you.
