Following the principles in Matthew 18 is so important to having healthy relationships with others and with those in authority. This topic is my soap box having experienced some problems with gossip in ministry as well. While I never want to experience the ramifications of destructive gossip again, I am thankful for going through the situations because it taught me what gossip is and how many times I didn't realize I was engaging in gossip as well. God used those situations to show me that I need to be cautious and thoughtful with the words I speak. And even after I feel like I have "learned my lesson", God has allowed situations into my life to remind me that it is still an area to work on and continually be aware of. For example, this past fall I was at a wedding, when I shared with someone that a certain person had given me a nasty look. As I shared that "choice morsel", the person who I was speaking of appeared to overhear. It was like God dinging a big bell in my ears. "Faith, you shouldn't have said that!! You need to speak to that person and not someone else about it." I wish I could say I dealt with it right away, but it took a couple of months of trying to ignore the fact that I had said something I shouldn't have before I looked up that person, called, explained the situation, and apologized for my loose tongue and not talking to them about it. Hopefully that is a lesson learned for good now. <br /><br />Thanks Lylah for writing about this.Faithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30532543.post-41399478912242182552008-07-28T22:06:00.000-07:002008-07-28T22:06:00.000-07:00Oh how I wish I could do a broadcast email of this...Oh how I wish I could do a broadcast email of this one! We have been enduring a summer of extreme stress that all began with a bit of gossip. I pray that as the Lord brings us through this, we'll have the opportunity to root it out and begin to see some change. <BR/><BR/>Having been hurt by gossip in ministry in the past, I (hope that I) am very careful about not contributing to the epidemic.<BR/><BR/>(Why is it that gossip seems more rampant in ministry than in any other place outside of middle school?)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for an insightful post.

There is always ...WOW...you opened my eyes to this. There is always gossip around the lunch table at my work, and since my building is away from everyone, I always feel left out of the loop. I never know what is going on. Now I realize I am better off not knowing, and not allowing someone to gossip to me, or me get caught up in gossip itself!

I was impressed and learned a lot! Gossip is soooo easy to slip into, so we have to guard our mouths against it.
