Did this title give a little jolt? Honestly, there are times at B.C. when a post is pretty much just as the title states, everyone chimes in to talk about someone, and might I add; it's not very positive. I perhaps in past have done exactly this same thing. I know on one or more occasions. I will try to never do this again. This type of behavior is stepping over the line of good taste, discretion and biblical standards. The most common reason this happens is that someone has made enough people mad to have a little gang after them. If I join any gang, let it be the "ole sanctification gang" and not any other fake gospel variety. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in the holy hill? He that walketh uprightly , and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor. Psalm 15 verses 1-2-3 From one bride to another, God keep you, bless you, increase you, Rhonda

Amen Rhonda, I confess to having jumped on the band wagon. {What did Jesus say now? Hmmm Pat, think! Think!} Ohhh...here it is: Matthew 5:43-48 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. LORD God, I'm not perfect, but I'm willing to learn!  - Pat -God's Freebies !! Please pray for my kitty Blackness. My sister called me last night.

The gang mentality is an anti Christ spirit in effect. Yes, I too in the past have contributed and God convicted me of it a while ago. I've also been on the receiving end....it can be spirit crushing! Thanks for speaking up about this, my friend....it needs to sink in for all of us! Love you! Hope you are feeling better?

Out of our mouths our heart speaks! With a few words we can ruin someone's life. Just ask anyone who has been wrongly accused of a crime. People don't remember that it turned out to be a mistake. With our words, we can crush someone so easily. So many of us have been hurt by the words of another and so many of us have hurt another with our words. I pray that God will bring out the spiritual duct tape when I need to keep my trap closed!

The problem with Christians Ronda...is that they live in utopia...we are in this world...if one has virgin ears and cannot stand being around unbelivers...which the blog is full of...well best they stay in church keeping their pews warm!!! As for me I am not moved by gossip or slander, but what I do is to confront those claiming to be Christians when in fact they are not...the word reveals it..... and boy when they are revealed do they make a stink! That is a natural reaction to those that are carnal...is it not?? the enemy hides in the darkness but when the light of Gods word shines on them they are seen for what they really are...decivers.

Interestingly, I have most often found the opposite to be true, that being---unbelievers feel very uncomfortable when face to face with the Spirit of God. Those with the Holy Spirit can be around anyone-because that love of Christ reaches out to all. Jesus went out and spent time with unbelievers, now- as we follow our shepherd, our mission field is huge and encompasses all walks of life. Yes, so true, the light of God's word does shine into the darkness and reveals the truth. Hallelujah! Thank you for stopping by.

wow Rhonda this is toooo funny!! (and I mean that as in coincidentally so lol) I mean even Pat had the same scripture He pointed me to .. ... though the perfection thing .. there IS something to that .. and I want to know what it IS .. cause like it or not He says to be .. and I do want to do as He wants me to .. though I honestly don't believe what He means by perfection is how we tend to think of it .. BUT at the same time .. the clue is in the statement above .. (or at least one clue  )I'll let you know when He lets me in on it pay NO attention to the man behind the curtain This message brought to you by the JustinCase Network, sponsor of the Foot n Mouth clubs of America, with your help we WILL find a cure

. A strong mature Christian can move almost anywhere and be fine, but even still must ware his armor every day less he becomes complacent, lazy, and or over confident in his own being. Those who are not as mature and not as strong, can be swayed like a reed in the wind, unfortunately some even break. Know? Yes? ? . . Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know? Yes? ? .

Yup. And I have SERVED as a TARGET for this very LESSON have I not? SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much agreement from folks here on this thread-- yet they FORGET whom it is that taught the LESON of why NOT to judge, the GOSSIP and then try to be "holier thasn thou" with someone they HATE for shoving their noses INTO LOOKING INSIDE THEMSELVES. Jesus told you all what to expect and how to handle it. YET WHEN TESTED- ya'll just fold and COMMIT SIN just because you REFUSE TO STOP SINNING. What ya'll missed- is that GOD WILL USE ANY AND ALL MEANS to get ya to FACE THE DEMON INSIDE YOU-- who leads you to SIN instead of perfection. Ya'll have a good day- -and don't forget what PAUL said about "angels unawares". "STOP SINNING ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME". That IS the message God want's you to HEAR and comply with. Good luck- ya'll have no clue how to do it, and time is VEEEEeeeRY short now. Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY.

Meow ? . Yes, this is true. A believer who has recently given up old addictions may best not go places that would try to call him/her back. Agreed. A little time and space sometimes would certainly not hurt. Good point my friend. There have been some good folks here at B.C. trying to overcome addictions, and we have prayed that God strengthen them. He is the way, the truth and the light. Would I recommend they jump into the lion's den immediately to prove something. No. However, If God wanted them there, then that would be ok. He will never give us more than we can bear. Amen, Pete.

Hi Rhonda, I try not to involve myself in arguements.I always try to be polite (even to those who try n start something off)n have sadly called a couple of adjetaters (can`t spell that ,sorry)brother or sister when i haven`t been aware off what they were n are really like.I do try n see the best in every body.Maybe that`s wrong, i dunno.I`m tryin to break my negative thought patterns and it is workin.

I'm with you on this Rhonda. I think it might be important for us to ask ourselves "why" we are gossiping or being negative. What is it that is turning my tongue into an unruly evil? Do we feel insecure, inadequate, less valuable? Did someone hurt our feelings? Eph 2:10 We are his workmanship (poiema, or poem, or work of art) created in Christ Jesus. God is an artist and you are His masterpiece!

Do we feel insecure, inadequate, less valuable? Did someone hurt our feelings? Yes, those are certainly the most likely reasons. I think too, if someone has had anger at someone else and there is a gossip post up and running it is like an open invitatation to take a "free" shot and the person who made you mad. Quite evil really. I'm sure they don't realize what a stumbling block has been laid with posts like these. Love to you, Rhonda From one bride to another, God keep you, bless you, increase you, Rhonda

8/28/2008 5:45 am |
Hi, so does that mean you will help me sort out the ones that are gossiping/lying? And have a talk with them? One day, I did something and Windsage called me on it and told me she thought it was not right... I thought about it and STOPPED.. THAT is sisterhood. Not closing your eyes to harmful accusiations.. I am not a troublemaker.. I believe in God, Jesus and HS. I believe he has set our SALVATION up by a job give us which will usher in the kingdom of heaven.. It hasnt come all these years has it? But you all what to know something? When I first came to BC i was HUNGRY for answers that didnt make sense within the christian realm. I wanted TRUTH...because everything in this world is like a counterfit of what should be. I am not here to make enenies, but if someone is going to lie... and gossip ISNT THAT MY JOB TOO to get these peopel to understand that they are really HARMING themselves? Striping Jesus again too.. I think people lie and join on gossip bandwagons because they want to 'belong' somewhere.. or be higher up than they are..maybe these might be some of the low at heart..at least those who join in the gossip. Windsage knows me. We have spoke on the phone before.. and will again soon when time is avail. when someone starts this stuff.. yes, I DO have to say something.. might not be very good with words, but we cant get peace if we dont stop things in their tracks.. And there is one pure and simple way that we can ALL be ONE ACCORD..every last one of us.. so pure and so easy.. Like JEsus says, drop everything..EVERYTHING..and follow him.. Everything is all notions of believes and just listen only to him for awhile. I testify to this because I TRIED IT.. Now when I go elsewhere in the bible I SEE more.. All the posts i have seen here about people not being able to get Gods attention........all those heartfelt prayers going unanswered. Its heartbreaking. I need six more people here at BC or elsewhere.. people who KNOW in their hearts of hearts that yes indeed 'something is missing'.. No arguments there, no bible thumping there...just a simple little job... gathering 12. I wish you guys would just 'try' it, its not BLASPHEMEY to try what JEsus said is it? I need help here too as you will need help later.. But ifyou will only just believe in that first step, your eyes will open to something soooooooooo sweet. So preciously sweet. Fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; he that wins souls is wise

OH MY SISTA You have spoken for this heart. I do love to hear you gently call our attention to being remiss in sharing our thoughts and allowing anger to over-rule our common sense. Again, I can only tell the BC world what 'A UPLIFTING WOMAN OF GOD, you really are. It is a PLEASURE to call you my friend. Much appreciation for your flawless tactics in saying: STOP the ANGER TIRADES and Get back on the ROCK where MOSES stood! You are loved! Cee Yesterday is past and gone, but tomorrow is forever.
