It is written; A gossip betrays a confidence;
so avoid a man who talks too much.
( Proverbs 20:19 *NIV )
Dear Addison,
Unfortunately, almost every Church has a gossip one must
deal with. Sadly to say sometimes they even run new members
off. They should remember that our Savior, Jesus Christ said,
"Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn
not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and
you will be forgiven. ( Luke 6:37 )
Therefore today's message is about the way a new Church
member handled the Church gossip. This was sent to me by
one of our subscriber's, and I hope it will make you laugh as it
did me.
Subject: Church Gossip
Sarah, the Church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the
Church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's
business. Now several members were unappreciative of her
activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused George,
a new member of being an alcoholic, after she saw his pickup
parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon.
She commented to George and others that everyone seeing
it there would know what he was doing. However, George, a
man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked
away. He didn't explain, defend or deny--he said nothing.
However, how fitting it was that later that evening, George
quietly parked his pickup in front of Sarah's house and left it
there all night.......
