Gossip

This morning I was listening to a sermon given by Pastor Bob Coy about gossip. He says that before we share other people's "cards" with someone else we need to ask ourselves these things:
-Is it true?
-Is it helpful?
-Is it inspired by God or by Satan?
-Is it necessary?
-Is it kind?

The Bible tells us we shouldn't gossip.

"A Perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends."
~Proverbs 16:28

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing, and perfect will.
~Romans 12:2

A heart of peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
-Proverbs 14:30
