So this past Sunday, I attended Williams Memorial CME Church in High Point, NC where the pastor is Rev. Robert Williams Jr. And Rev. Williams said something in the middle of his sermon that has stuck with me. He said that our faith should be in the Gospel and not the gossiper. WOW! It really stopped and made me think for a second. Because we do put too much stock into what people say and receive it as the Gospel and will spread it like wildfire. And half of the time, the truth has not been told. The Bible reminds us that there is power in the tongue...life and death. Hmmmmm. So we must watch what we say and also guard what we allow to enter into our inner atmosphere. (If you have been on the Virtual Bible Study calls you would know what I am talking about ;) ) All of this affects our worship,which also affects our relationship with God. Put your stock in the Word of God and silence the gossip (er) in your life---even if it is YOU! It is a slow poison that will ultimately cause you grief, heartache, and pain.
Blessings and Love!
