Proverbs 26:22 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“The words of a talebearer are as wounds, And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.” (Proverbs 26:22 KJV)

A tattletale, a talebearer, a gossip, a slanderer and others like them, are very dangerous characters that have been repeatedly highlighted for emphasis in the reminders of God’s Word. They carry poisonous lies and insinuations in their rabid lips. Early on during Bible times they peddled it on foot. Then, as human kind was "civilized" they spread it on tabloids. And, in this hi-tech generation they run amok in cyberspace, fake media and social media platforms. So, in this day and age, this reminder is of dire importance. God hates talking about others behind their backs, whether good or bad, or right on their faces using the power of the "press". Words of gossip and disparagement are wounds that go deep down in one's being. It hurts. It is destructive and deadly.

So, in Christ Jesus, being His redeemed by grace through faith, we are called to reject them - talebearers and others of their kind. Most importantly, we must not be one of them. Rather, we are to take the mantle as bearers of the gospel, the good news of salvation and life. As Lord Jesus commissioned the disciples, we are too. “And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:15-16 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
