In our teen class tonight we are going to discuss gossip and the harm that it brings to friendship. How does God want us to behave when it comes to dealing with other people's secrets?
The human being is a weird creature. We inherently want to know everything-good and bad-about everyone. We want to talk to each other about dark secrets. We see it all the time in the media, at school and by the water cooler at the office. We are dying to spill the beans.
Solomon, inspired by Jehovah God, wrote, "A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret." (Proverbs 11:13)
Who are you? The betrayer of confidences or the trustworthy friend? God wants us to be able to trust each other. If we can't do that, or if we don't warrant others trust in ourselves, then we are not being the friends God intended us to be.
