The Bible warns us about the danger of our tongues when we use them the wrong way, and calls the human tongue evil and full of deadly poison
“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.”
James 3:6-8 KJV
Those careless words that slip from our mouths have a disastrous impact in the long run.
Speaking of others in any way but honorable shames their image and reputation, and it paints an ugly picture of the gossiper. Let’s tame our tongues and use them wisely.
The Bible warns we will be judged for the words we use.
“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”
Matthew 12:36 KJV
Gossiping about others is no exception to judgment! When we hear gossip we can choose to be wise and do as Titus 3 says:
“Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.”
Titus 3:1-3 KJV
Let’s choose to portray wisdom with our words and stray away from foolish small talk, letting our speech reflect the wisdom of the Lord and not that of a fool.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7 KJV
“He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.”
Proverbs 10:18 KJV
God did not create humans to judge each other and point out everyone’s imperfections to everyone else. In fact, the Bible repeatedly commands we are to love one another, treat others as we would want to be treated, and love our neighbor as ourselves. Although we are blessed with freedom of speech, God’s plan for you does not include a haughty tongue.
When we speak of others and our words aren’t motivated by love we are being disobedient. Instead of tearing each other down and spreading gossip, God calls us to build each other up and encourage each other.
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11 KJV
While gossip may be accepted as normal at school or work, the Bible says we are to renew our mind with the will of God, not the will of the world.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:2 KJV
Gossip is tempting to take part in, but it only hurts others (and ourselves). God’s plan for us is not filled with evil speech and deceit. We were created in His image, so if we wouldn’t speak it in Heaven, let’s not say it on this side of eternity either.
