Blue Ridge Moments with Dr. Billie J. Minton

E090-Fast On Gossip

June 18, 2020 • Dr. Billie J. Minton • Season 2020 • Episode 98

“Fast on gossip!”

My Dad always said to make sure to “fast on gossip!” That was great advice and I have carried it with me since childhood.

People in my life never really bring gossip to me because they know that I have zero interest in it. It is no fun to bring gossip to someone that will not participate.

Regardless of your opinion about or toward someone else, it is not our place to judge or gossip about others.

If someone truly Loves, respects, and cares about you, they will squash gossip, the very moment it comes to them.

Gossip is toxic, destroys lives and is something Dad taught me to fast on since my childhood. It destroys families and all types of relationships.

If someone brings you gossip then they automatically disrespect you. Tell them to learn how to raise their gossip bar.

Your life is only as good as the people you allow in it. It is always your choice to forbid gossip or not.

Our entire team at work has a zero-gossip policy in our workplace. If you gossip, you lose your job. Kindness and dedication is our work style.

Gossip is wrong. The bible plainly identifies gossiping as sinful. Here are some scriptures that come to my mind about gossip:

Proverbs11:12-13,16:28,20:19, 26:20,10:19, 18:6- 7, 21:23,17:9,
25:9-10, 6:16-19, 10:18

Psalms 34:13, 141:3, 101:5, 50:20, 41:5

Ephesians 4:29 Titus 3:2

Exodus 23:1, 20:16 James 4:11, 1:26

1 Timothy 5:13 Leviticus 19:16 John 7:12-13 Romans 1:29-32 5-28-15

Pray for people that gossip and those that rely on gossip for their information.Do you know someone that gossips?

Are you learning to fast on gossip?

Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
