Also, social media has commodified ‘gist’ and there is enough to keep everyone busy! Businesses and organisations contend with the ‘grapevine’ as alternative sources of information and some ‘benefit’ unduly as active participants.

Phycologists suggest that among other benefits, gossip relieves stress. We believe this may be true of the take bearer, it is not the experience of the person at the receiving end.

Almost everyone has experienced the harm of gossip before. Even if the people talking didn’t mean direct harm, the result of gossip is always broken trust, strained or broken friendship and hurt feelings.

Gossip involves sharing information about the behaviour or personal life of other people, often without the full truth revealed or known.

God’s Word warns us to stay away from people who gossip and to guard our words when we speak about others!

Scripture also uses the word slander which means making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation. Slander can destroy someone’s marriage, job, wealth, and family. The tongue has power and we must be careful with how use our words.
