Soldier of The Cross, serving the Lord means sticking to Truth.
Gossip is not always the breaking down of communication. It is often foolish guessing. People love to fill in the blanks.
This is a lethal trap and those who do not have a scriptural handle on the thought life, will fall into it.
If you interpret circumstances and read faces, you will develop a fantasy world that throws the door open to the enemy.
The enemy is insane. What is insanity? Separation from reality.
Soldier, avoid speculation. Make sure you do not present facts not in evidence. We are told that God hates false testimony and anything that separates the brethren.
Be wise. Be quiet. Wait for Him.
It is not your battle, it is His.
In the meantime, there are many who need to be fed, healed, loved and saved. You must avoid the quicksand of deciding you have Holy Spirit insight into the motives and thoughts of others.
Watch for and wait for the Lord.
You must do this because you do not have all the answers. He alone knows the unknown.
