Freedom From Gossip
Freedom is the cry of our hearts. We want to be free from the weight of sin and to live a life without the burdens that steal, kill and destroy our peace. Part of living a life of freedom means breaking free from the need and desire to gossip. When we allow God to empower us to stop gossiping, the result is freedom.
This freedom can revolutionize our lives. You see gossip holds us captive in several ways. It makes us feel like we have to do it to fit in. It makes us feel like we don’t have anything to say without it. It also gets us into trouble and we have to do damage control when people find out we have gossiped. It holds us captive! But, it doesn’t have to. If we step away from the habit and sin of gossip, there is a life of freedom waiting for us. This freedom moves us from small talk to deeper, God-filled conversations. It allows us to evaluate, with no guilt, where we are at with God instead of deflecting and talking about others faults. It gives us the ability to appreciate God’s children instead of tearing them down. It gives way to an increased amount of wisdom and righteousness.
I urge you today to stop gossiping. You don’t need it! Push through the awkwardness of not gossiping and let Christ reveal Himself to you. He will replace the gossip with a freedom that you truly can’t live without!

About this Plan
Gossip, you know it’s bad, but you know you want to. A story shared. A side comment. A roll of the eyes. All of the words we use have incredible power to build up or tear down. Words used for gossip are especially toxic. This plan helps clarify what gossip is, where it stems from, and how if we have nothing nice to say, we shouldn’t say anything at all.
