Gossip

What do you do when people do things you know is not right, walk away, nothing, be a leader, or just do the same thing? Well, we all need to do something! We don't need to be followers of this world, but of Christ! Guys you'll one day be the head of the house (a.k.a leader). We need to make a pack so when people do start gossiping or something like that we'll have back-up to help so your not the only one. It will be so much easier if you have a friend to help you change the subject.
Lot's of people voted on our poll about "what you would do if someone were to start gossiping", and like everyone voted NOTHING! I'm guilty of this too, but even if we were to say a silent prayer or just walk away, at least you know you did something. But if you just stand there and do nothing it will be like you are gossiping back. I'm not saying that you need to jump in and change the conversation, because that's really hard unless your a born leader, then in that case, you go girl/guy!
Something just as simple as walking away or complementing instead of making fun of that person is really big and good. Because then they'll start wondering,  "why she/he would do that?"  Why, because we don't like gossip. Someone once asked me "what's so wrong with gossiping?" I replied "Tell me what good thing comes out of talking bad about someone." She said "well you know whats going on." I then said "do you like people gossiping about you?" Well, she walked away after that statement. But it's not really that hard to change the subject once you get over the fear.
So go out there and ask GOD to give you courage, and stop gossip!
