You don’t have to figure it all out to take the next step.
You only need to keep your ears open and your heart soft enough to hear Him!

God says, "This is the way, walk in it!"

We know God hears us when we pray...what about when we slander or gossip?
Do you realize God can hear you, then, too?

Psalm 101:5
"Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate."

God hates slander
(Proverbs 6:16, 19).
It is evil.
That’s why Paul lists it as a behavior of those who hate God.
(Romans 1:30) and why James calls it demonic behavior.
(James 3:15–16).

Slander occurs whenever someone says something untrue about someone else that results, intentionally or unintentionally, in damaging that someone else’s reputation. And when it occurs, it becomes a divisive, discouraging, and confusing weight that often affects numerous people — sometimes many, many people.

Because of its poisonous power, it is one of the adversary’s chief strategies to divide relationships and deter and derail the mission of the church. We must be on our guard against this closely clinging sin and frequently lay it aside (Hebrews 12:1).

The Subtlety of Slander
Sometimes saying something untrue and damaging about someone is bold and blunt. But often slander is insidiously subtle, especially since we have heard slander all our lives in almost every context and grown accustomed to it.
This means we must heighten our sensitivity to it and lower our tolerance of it.

Slander can wear a hundred masks. Here a few common ones.

*Sometimes we pass along slanderous information that seems almost like harmless hearsay, yet the effect it has on our listeners is to leave them with an unfairly negative perception of another.
*Sometimes we embellish with information or tone a negative report about someone in order to enhance our listener’s perception of ourselves.
*Sometimes we have a very real concern about someone, but we share it with someone who cannot benefit from or help with the concern.
We do this because we simply want our listeners to think worse of a particular person. Or if we share a concern with an appropriate person, we can sometimes indulge our speculations or presumptions, mixing them almost imperceptibly with facts for our listeners, distorting the concern in order to sway an outcome in a direction we desire.

Let's protect our brothers and sisters in Christ from this sin.
