Slanderers & Busybodies — God Forbid!
Good morning.
This is a needed correction to the Church, I feel.
Gossiping and tale bearing bring much confusion. Strife when stirred up, will only get worse.
Never should we be drawn into strives and debates with others.
“A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.” Proverbs 17:4.
“Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.” Proverbs 26:20.
The song today, may not seem to go with this message but it is pure worship, I feel with the anointing on it. I love the words.
Each one of us as Christians have fallen short of The LORD’s Glory. I certainly have.
That being said we need to strive for perfection in this area, although.
If we let only good words proceed out of our mouth, then we are blessed and will avoid many pitfalls. Lord help us all.
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalms 19:14.
People over the years at times have even gotten angry at me for taking up for the one guilty in a matter. Still that was never my intention!
We can get misunderstood in motive. What I was trying to do was put a ‘balance’ on things.
We need to look further than on the surface. We are to judge ‘righteous judgement’. The LORD knows the hearts of man.
Then if it needs correction so be it and it should be applied in a spirit of love only.
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath,” James 1:19.
Still of course we are to hate the sin and the wrong a person may cause.
Just never, ever hate the sinner for whom Christ died! What does The Word of God say?
“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment,” James 2:13
We all who Name the Name of Christ must learn to keep a matter and not repeat it.
The Bible speaks plainly that: “He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends,” Proverbs 17:9.
When are we going to wise up, confess up and get it right in the Church? (Note, I am talking here about in The Body of Christ, not a building.)
It’s Time and Double Time. The clock is ticking! Can’t you hear it tick?
Listen and be wise!
God bless you.
“He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.” Proverbs 26:17.
