The most troubling thing about my church is...

I am becoming more and more bothered by this one thing in my church. At first, I didn't see a lot of it. Growing up, there was hardly any of it because there was no need for it. However, over the past few months, I am having a full blown, outraged, teeth clinched pit in the stomach battle with...GOSSIP!

I can't tell you how many things that I have "heard" are circulating in our church of around 125 people. There are talks about this person doing that, that maybe this person is a little fruity or that maybe this person should be doing this and they are wrong...wrong...wrong. It is a bunch of dung. I am really tired of it. I just want to jump all over that person and tell them a thing or two. Jesus told the Jewish leaders that if they didnt have any sin that they should throw the first stone! Still, we think that we are so high and mighty, or maybe we are just too full of ourselves to subject our lives to that kind of rule. Everything is relative so that means that I can say whatever I want because it really isn't gossiping it is just letting someone else know so that they can pray for that person! Bullhocky...liars!

We have people in our church that think some other people the church might be different than they are because they do this or that...we have people in our church who are doing this activity or that and you hear "someone should really talk with them about that". They never do, they only talk amongst themselves.

All that to say this, I am really tired of it. I hate when people but their biases into words and start speading them around like spoiled bile from a ruptured organ! So don't let gossip into your lives...it only leaves you with a nasty taste in your mouth!
