Gossip and the Gospel Order online or call 1-877-421-READ This book by Timothy Williams was first published in 2004, and lays out the gospel-centered foundation for the attitude all Christians should have to gossip.
The book does not directly deal with worldly or secular gossip, although much of it will still apply in that context. But, instead, it confronts something much more serious - gossip in the church and among those who claim the name of Christ. It gives solid Biblical teaching on the evil that can be done by the tongue and encourages us to always speak the truth by the power of the Holy Spirit in love. Proverbs 20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much. Titus 3:1-2 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. Using many references and examples from Scripture, this book explains how to recognize the damaging fruit of gossip, slander and bitter roots - and, more importantly, how to repent of these things in a godly way. In reading this book, you may well be shocked to discover the sin that is so rampant in the church today is also the sin that lurks in your own heart. ORDER ONLINE or CALL 1-877-421-READ |
