Sins Of The Tongue | Gossip, Slander, & Flattery 

Gossip is next on the list of things I need to work on.

One of the most common sins that rarely is talked about.

You'll reap what you sowed .

I stood still and my intuition let me know .

In the past twenty five years , I haven't spoken to you not even twenty times . TRUTH .

Amen .

I really appreciate the bold preaching pastor Joel. Clear, concise and biblical. This is the kind of teaching we all need.

Gossip is not always true. Gossip is when someone spreads lies about you because they don’t know the whole story.

Remember now , no lies .

I'm learning to be a better person to learn not to be toxic by trying not to be around thes type of people I need to learn to except positve wisdom such as this message teaches to be better in life

I was under the impression that gossiping is telling secrets that you agreed not to tell. Slander is telling something negative (true or false) while a person is present or absent, in order to harm their character or reputation.

Amen praise God

I saw the title and was scared to look because I really could use some encouragment. I clicked on it anyways and I am glad I did. I grew up in a group that relies on flattery and slander to control the narrative and relative positions of people. And you get one or the other depending on whether you talk about truth or not. It took so many years for me to even realize I was in a fog.. I pray for my family. That they are able to know how loved and accepted they are as is, and that the truth is the way, is the life. What you said helped me so much..

I needed this.

we all done it lets try and see life thru jeshua's eyes our best, may he forgive us and have mercy on us. 🙏

I'm your CONSCIENCE.

Good morning, watching from Tulsa Oklahoma It's amazing how much this goes on in leadership in churches. I experienced this recently in the church I attend. I was hurt but forgiving toward them. Our pastor doesn't have a clue what they are doing with their tongues.

If God's for me , who can be against me ?

A lesson to not be naive . This man took me to a bar about twenty five and when we walked in , there was a Confederate flag on the wall . I'm with him , so I can't leave and I can only suggest .

I stay sober .

I ain't apologizing for anything that I didn't do .

Thought I forgot ? Driving your little maroon Grand AM .

That bar was in Sikeston , Missouri , near Bo's Barbeque or something like that .

I trusted in the Lord of Jesus Christ as my personal savior into my heart through faith alone, and not of works, by accepting his free gift of salvation, by his grace on February 16, 1996, each day, I confess sins for process of sanctification, to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, please refer to Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="628">10:28</a>, John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="196">3:16</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1116">18:36</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="324">5:24</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="397">6:37</a>:47, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="627">10:27</a>-29, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="846">14:6</a>, Acts <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="158">2:38</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="990">16:30</a>-31, Luke <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="910">15:10</a>, Roman's <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="203">3:23</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="245">4:5</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="383">6:23</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="609">10:9</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="613">10:13</a>, Ephesians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="128">2:8</a>-10, and Titus <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="185">3:5</a>.

I'm happy to see Matt Walsh's brother is getting work.

😆😆😆Intelligent Liberal...😆😆😆 Thank You, Pastor Joel! May The Lord continue to Bless Your minstry! Your Boldness is much needed! And Thank You for speaking out against Woke Pastors like Tim Keller! I didn't know he openly endorsed clinton in '16, and was a registered dem. I have one of his books, and stopped reading it immediately after hearing that from You! Praise The Lord for his Truth, and Objective Justice!

You didn't know I went to Lincoln did you ? Exactly .

I had one beer this month , one .

I will NEVER forget or forgive the lies they continue to spread!! They ruined me emotionally and i HATE them!!

This understanding would have prevented a very unfortunate, massive church split in my prior church where the pastor thought any encouragement toward improvement or expression of concern for his own wellbeing and that of his family was gossip and slander. In fact, those two terms were used singularly, "gossip and slander," never separately, always together. It turned into aggressive, baseless witch hunts and endless threats of church discipline for vague ideas of "gossip and slander," with no timeline for actual resolution. In my opinion, all for the sake of preserving the reputation of the pastor. It became very abusive very quickly, private conversations were quoted out of context during sermons, and those who were targeted by this knew it immediately. The pulpit was being used as a weapon to keep the supposed dissenters in line. Rules about fellowship at the church building even on the Lord's Day were tightened so that the elders could monitor conversations. Ugly stuff. And all because one church member, in love, went to an elder with a concern for another elder's wellbeing, owned their own words with integrity, never said anything privately to others, but simply asked an elder to check in with the one in question.

“Intelligent Liberal” 😂

Went to the restroom inside the bar and got surrounded by two red necks with pocket knives , with menacing looks and not using the restroom .

Hi! I have a question, how can I tell a coworker who says she is a Christian but she curses and uses the Lord's name in vain all the time. Should I reproof or keep quiet? I'm not perfect but I know I don't use the Lord's name in vain 😞😔it's so exhausting to hear her everyday. Thank you Pastor Joel🙏✝️God bless you!

In a word "Facebook".

I drink COFFEE, morning , noon , and night .

I don't drink alcohol any longer .

Correction, about twenty two years ago .

You've never been my friend and I've never been yours .

I don't smoke weed and I've never tried drugs .

Where is the full message, please?

Gossip is unconfirmed information not true information.

Why did I think this was Matt Walsh😂

I never drove a car intoxicated .

Malice and slander cohorts.

I never did that that not way I am

Is it gossiping when you say your friend is an awesome child of God building a legacy?

Deut 16 to 21 "if a false witness testifies against someone, accusing him of a crime, both parties to the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD, before the priests and judges who are in office at that time. The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is proven to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother, you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. So you must purge the evil from among you.c Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you. You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth,d hand for hand, and foot for foot. This why Jesus promises to send (or allow) a great delusion in 2nd Thessalonians).

You're barking up the tree . I'm standing on ten toes .

I agree with you on most things and I think this teaching is overall great, however, I find it hypocritical in a sense to have a video about slander and talk about intent and slide in a joke tearing down liberals. I’m a conservative myself and I understand it was a joke but I feel like it wasn’t the best fit in this context however true it may or may not be. I appreciate your message though, discernment and learning about how to best honor God through our words and actions is definitely something we need in the world to be taught on.

Normally it's the drunk one with the lose tongue .

The comment “intelligent liberal” ironically was an example of slander.

I don't drink . I've had maybe eight beers in the last ten years .

Thank you for this message but is it necessary to make it political?

The chapter is over , ending this story . It's time for the new book .

Remind me when Jesus preached hate towards others

Oreo cookie dude .

Matt Walsh’s brother?

That man lied on me .

You are who you were thirty years ago .

I won't say your name . I DON'T HAVE TO .

That's man drinks and drives drunk .

Don't slander my name to another family . Understand ?

So have you been gossiping about Tim Keller and the BigEva types?

But the people in this bar were kind of fond of you .

Trying to make yourself seem ,,". Hood " at my expense .

That's man drinks alcohol and gets drunk .

It’s such a shame that a powerful message was tainted by a snide political joke. Totally out of line and really turned me off to this guy. It just has no place in these types of discussions to take a shot at your enemy who could be a fellow Christ follower

You never mentioned murder and destruction of another.... This was a weak exposition on this subject.... #"*';?(!# Uhmmmm i'll leave it at that....

I needed more examples explanations and how to stop doing this pastor

That man smokes weed and experiments with drugs .

You chastise Women that are unsaved in culture around us. Paul said that he did not judge outside the church. And then you appear to blame’s Christian women for this sin also. You mix categories. Pastor teach the World of God, it’s up to the Holy Spirit to convict of sin. You are accusing Christian’s of evil but you don’t know they are sinning in that way. Dominionism is unbiblical. Jesus and the Apostles preach the Gospel, and how to live holy.

Intelligent liberal?? wow

Oreo cookie dude .
