Gossip – “Repeating something when you are not part of the problem or the solution.”

Scripture:  Nehemiah 6:1-9

My wife Summer, likes to say, “Don’t gossip. If people gossip to you, they’ll gossip about you.  Remember there are two sides to every story.  If you must listen to gossip, give people the same benefit of the doubt you would want them to give you.”  Wow!  I shudder to think how the words of people have destroyed vision, relationships, and unity.  I know, we all think we get a free pass with our words.  We use excuses.  The excuses are invalid.  If you are not a part of the problem or solution, it’s gossip.  If you haven’t told the person your problem, don’t tell someone else.  Let our words be seasoned with love and encouragement for each other bringing unity.

Watch Week 4 of Relaunch:  “Striving  For Unity” Here:

The more you love others, the more you leave your pride.  There is no place for pride when working on a high performance team.  The people are pulling together to rebuild the wall amidst the opposition, and they are learning how to be absolutely unified.  In order to strive for unity we must rely on the power of God, remain alert, and rally to the needs of others.
