Reflection

Paul instructs Christians to put away corrupting speech and use words that build others up according to their needs. Gossip often feels like harmless conversation until we consider the person who is absent. Refuse to spread a story that is not yours to tell. If a genuine problem needs addressing, speak to the appropriate person with truth and care.
