Pride makes us savor gossip.The solution to gossip is love, for Jesus and His sweeter fellowship, for His church, and for your neighbor. ““If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.” - Matthew 18:15 NIV I was walking on a slippery floor earlier today, carrying some groceries. When I recognized the danger, I shortened my steps so I was more stable. When you’re in a situation where you could sin, be still and know that He is God. Take smaller steps, and flee if you see it coming.
This is an on time subject. My church is suffering from gossip. My poor pastor has called 2 special meetings to address this. He has spoken the truth in love. Please pray for my church. We have had several people leave because of this.
Praise God for discernment of gossip and speaking necessary truths! I therefore bind to hell one speaking in a damaging way of another while binding one to speak in a way that builds up the good in another in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone speaking in a damaging way of another while lacking to speak in a way that builds up the good in another, in accordance with this word and proverbs 18:21, 1 thessalonians 5:11 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!
Im glad John Piper has answered this question. One of the leaders in my church began to share with me numerous sinful problems. The leader claimed to share these matters with me given they trusted me as a result of my growing faith, but at some point, the sharing of such matters felt meaningless. Moreso, right then and there, I surely knew that everything I shared with the leader has been spread to the ears of others and based on that likely assumption, I lost the incentive to share with the leader my personal life. Without confidentiality, you're sharing your information through a delayed megaphone. I too am glad how John Piper has defined gossip; it verifies my convictions. Please pray for the members in my church🙏
A resounding amen! How can we bless God with our mouths and curse man who is made in the image of God! Lord please forgive me and help me and all who do this!
You have to forgive them. Then it will be like you arent hurt by them anymore, nor will what happened be floating around in your mind. Just as we are forgiven for our sins by God, we HAVE to forgive others.
Take care with this: it can be easy to fall into, I think, especially in regards to - say, politics. Guard your heart, and remember to pray for those you love as Christ said - and to love those with whom you disagree, even if they are your enemies (as Christ said!). I've a long way to go, but Jesus is faithful.
I've been struggling with determining if I partake in gossip at work or not.... it's hard to pinpoint though being in management.... Incredibly hard leading a group of lost... past few months have been hard in a new vocation feeling like the very traits of self I should be amputating are the very same things that make the gears move.
I will remember this if I get the promotion at my job. I like to keep to self and endure, but their sometimes be negativity with the stress of the job and I guess management getting on management. It concerns me a bit although I wanna grow and challenge myself with Christ as center. Just hold to him tightly and live in him, and maybe is spare time or when alone look at your bible app for some refreshment from the lost world. Psalms 16:11 has been my favorite verse so far. And even centered as a prayer. Stay strong brother ✊🏾🙏🏾😊
Oh man I really felt that- the parts of myself I need to amputate are pretty big parts of the engine. It's scary thinking about what the hole will look like. And hopefully I don't replace it with something way worse. Ugh.
I want to help my friend Maddie who has been gossiping for as long as I've known her. She partakes in gossip especially when she's with her girlfriends, and it's not pretty. At this moment I'm trying to take advantage of every opportunity I can to evangelize to her. Am I expected as a Christian to avoid spending time with her because of her tendencies? How do I evangelize to her then?
You were made for such a time. You were personally hand picked. Don't give up! Do NOT give up! We have already won so keep holding on and DON'T GIVE UP! The Devil is working on you because YOU are not his property! Don't listen to the Devil's lies. None of us deserve what we have been given. We all fall short. Not one is good no not even one. Our sins were paid for on the cross. The world hates us hallelujah! Amen! Grace. Grace. GRACE! Hallelujah! John 15:18-19 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
I think perhaps we should examine our motive in such sharing. As well as asking 'is this information really mine to share'. A helpful acronym I have learnt in trying to check whether I should spread something is T-H-I-N-K... So the idea is to ask myself, whatever I'm about to disclose about someone other than myself Is it... True? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? Kind? L
I’m wondering if I even have the right to be upset with this person I had a falling out with. She told people about What happened but only shared what I did, though what she shared was true for my part, she didn’t talk about her contribution to the issue. This has made me insecure because she’s told so many people in the community... idk how to go about it.
Amen to evil peoples that talk about over not up fronts of person that they are talking about why they hideing what evils they done and putting fake saying on over to make them feel better about there evil OK I pray to god to put his hearing hand on them that talk about over behind there and jungle over when they not been in over shoes and jungle no one if you havet walk in there shoes and live there life then you won't jungle them OK I put all the jungle's over in your hands take evil saying and hear them and open there eyes to over feeling not make lies up or talking behind over back that is sins in lord eyes so believe in god and do to over that you want done to you amen amen
Why does the definition of gossip cover such a broad range of social situations? Simply talking about good things about somebody else towards someone else when they're not there is gossip? I don't see how these things could turn into a negative situation unless what you were saying was literally alai or was just blatantly negative about that person what if what you are sharing to that person is truthful AND they are already aware?!? I don't understand.. I thought gossip is something that we all do all the time 24/7 and it just a normal part of life. Now I'm being told that most part of my normal life is completely sinful and I don't even know how to define gossip whatsoever the definition of gossip just got much more confusing.. when the history teacher talks about Adolf Hitler whom is not present in the class is that considered gossip? I don't understand man I want to tho
Next time the police comes to my door asking for information on anyone with regards to kidnapping/murder/rape, I’m going to tell them I don’t gossip. Because gossip is bad, leaving the kidnapper/murderer/rapist free on the community is so much better.
It's gossip if it's intended to tear them down. Reporting a crime leads to them receiving justice and hopefully a change of heart, which builds them up.
It depends. Sometimes we tend to put others down when venting to someone, because of our stressful state. Before telling anyone about your bad day at work (or whatever is bothering you), seek the Lord in prayer, read the Word, and dwell on His promises. Hopes this helps. God bless you.
Pastor Piper saying NOT to vote in this election was WRONG and he should apologize immediately. Who is the Christian between Mike Spence and Kamala Harris should the Presidential candidate die? Democrat party platform is straight from Romans 1. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." - Proverbs 29:2 "Should you HELP THE WICKED and LOVE THOSE who HATE the LORD? Therefore the WRATH of the LORD is upon YOU.” 2 Chronicles 19:2 "I call heaven and earth to record this day AGAINST you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and CURSING: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that BOTH THOU and THY SEED MAY LIVE.” Deuteronomy 30:19 We are voting for president...NOT PASTOR. Pastor Piper, I've heard you preach excellence before and I want to thank you for that. It's just on this topic, your advice was horrible.
Both candidates will be leading and even trying to force everyone to take this coming Covid vaccine which is the mark of the beast. They’re both evil and a vote for them is a vote for Satan.
@@popedope8121 The church is still here so we are not in the tribulation period. Both VP candidates maybe promoted should either die. Who is the better vote...Mike Pence or Kamala Harris? No question. Mike Pence!
@@popedope8121 No. Jesus said you will know my disciples by their love for each other..., Let not your heart be troubled, and comfort one another w these words...Jesus made sure Noah's family and the animals were on board the ark seven days BEFORE God Himself closed the door to the ark...when the flood began. The church suffers MAN'S WRATH but NOT GOD'S WRATH...the tribulation period is the time of Jacob's trouble...which is Israel's trouble...not the church's trouble. It's not a comfort that the Tribulation Saints will not be able to purchase food, eat, have shelter, and will have their heads cut off. The tribulation period IS casting its shadows now, though. What's sad is the people who believe we're in the Tribulation NOW can be rude. Jesus is not going to beat up his bride prior to the wedding.
Israel signs a peace treaty w the Antichrist, but he's not going to be revealed until after the rapture. What's going on now is leading to the ezekial 38 war.
I can listern to this man any more with is fellowship with rick woren and is coments with the elecshon wonting bidon to win this baby murderet thats enuth for me to stop with you now

It is a spirit. It needs to be cast out from the people and the church. We pray for the church in Jesus Name, Amen.

Thanks Pastor John. Surgical as always with these issues 🙏
Love the definition. Exactly what I am looking for.
Thank you
Very helpful exposition. Thanks a lot Pastor John.
I gossip about people who hurt me without cause, but I'm aware it's not right. It's a hard battle
We know when certain words are bad for others. Let the spirit guide you.

Im sorry for gossiping about celebrities :(
So what's the difference between sharing information versus gossiping
I think perhaps we should examine our motive in such sharing. As well as asking 'is this information really mine to share'. A helpful acronym I have learnt in trying to check whether I should spread something is T-H-I-N-K...

Is it...

Necessary?

A gossip can never keep a secret. Stay away from people who talk too much.
Gossip is a vile sin that the Christian should have nothing to do with.

Is there a difference between gossiping and venting? Or are both the same?
