Have you ever considered, just for a moment, have you ever considered how God views gossip? Gossip can seem like a victimless crime, can't it?
Like sharing your Netflix password, like agreeing to the times and conditions when you know you didn't read them.
Love, you all know we've done it. I know I've done it, did it this week. It might seem like a victimless crime.
It's no big deal. Hey, if I'm really good, the person will never know why I did it. But for a moment, can
I give you God's take on those who gossip and slander? Romans chapter one, verse 28 to 32 says, and because they, those who rejected
God, did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right.
They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, malice.
Let me pause there. We would all agree those are bad things, right? Those are things, nobody should be those things.
Romans 1 .30, look what else Paul says, marks out those who hate God. He says, they are gossips, slanderers,
God haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, senseless, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful.
Although they know God's just sentence that those who practice such things deserve to die. They not only do them, but even applaud the others who practice them.
Did you notice in Romans one, that God puts gossip on the same level as murder and being a
God hater. We would all agree being a murderer and a God hater are not good things. They're things worthy of judgment.
