James 3:6-11 (KJV)
Proverbs (MSG)
Why I criticize and gossip:
1. To be liked and get a laugh
2. To get people to feel my pain
3. To let off steam
4. To feel better about myself
Why I don’t need to criticize and gossip:
1. It hurts the people we talk about.
Everything you say should be true, but everything that is true doesn’t need to be said.
2. It hurts the people I say it to.
Take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.
Proverbs 26:20 (KJV)
James 3:16 (KJV)
3. It hurts us
1 Peter 3:8-12 (KJV)
4. It hurts The Father
Ephesians 4:29-30 (KJV)
Humanity is the ability to hurt for others. Christ likeness is the ability to hurt for an enemy.
