Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst talk about the danger of gossip and slander in the life of a church.
Here are good questions to evaluate whether the things you are hearing are information you need to know as a pastor or if it’s entering into the realm of gossip:
- Does this information involve me or affect me directly?
- What is the motive of the person who passed this information on to me?
- What is going on in my heart?
