A pastor challenges Christians to stop gossiping and slandering each other in church. Instead of tearing down reputations for entertainment, speak well of people behind their backs and offer life-giving words that honor God's image in everyone.
Many believers, instead of building up others, they slander them. They gossip about them. You know, everyone you will ever meet has their flaws. Everyone has an issue that can cause you to complain about them behind their back. But true believers who are filled with the Holy Spirit don't do that. We don't participate in immature gossip. We don't participate in slander. We don't speak evil of others behind their back. We don't tear down other people's reputation just because it's fun for us to do. We as believers honor each other. We as believers Speak well of one another. So here's my challenge to you. I want you to talk good behind someone's back today. Don't tear down their reputation. Don't highlight their flaws. Don't focus on their character issues. Don't campaign against them in the background. Instead, speak well of them. Speak life into them. That's someone created in the image of God, and you need to make sure you're speaking with honor and not gossip and slander.
