WHY DO CHRISTIANS GOSSIP?


FEAR OF CONFRONTING THEIR OFFENDERS

If someone offends you and you find it difficult to approach them, the next step is to gather people that are equally offended by the same person. This is not enough reason to gossip. You can all come together and confront this person.

LAZINESS
If you’re preoccupied with chores and school work, reading your Bible and other Christian materials, it would be difficult to notice the faults in others or even spend time talking about them. 1Tim5:13

POOR HOME TRAINING
People raised by gossiping parents would see it as a normal thing to talk about others maliciously.
EVIL INTENTIONS
When you have evil intentions about others or an organization, you’ll begin to plant seeds in people’s hearts in order to lead them into rebellion against authority.
YOU JUST CAN’T HELP IT
When gossiping becomes a habit, you find it difficult to stay without talking about others.
ENVY
When you’re envious of other people’s achievements, the next step is to tear them down by cooking up lies or spreading stories about their past to feel good about yourself.

LACK OF LOVE
When there is no love in your heart, you’ll talk evil about others.
THE NEED TO BE THE FIRST TO SAY SOMETHING NEW
As Christians you may be pressured to belong to a group, so to stay relevant, you must keep supplying gossip to the group.
