The Scriptures do not define gossip in one location. Instead, they describe gossip in action and intimately tie it to the character of the people participating in this tantalizing sin. The Bible often uses the word gossip to describe a kind of person more than just a communication pattern.

My way of summarizing the Bible’s teaching on this topic is to say that the sin of gossip is bearing bad news behind someone’s back out of an evil heart. This functional definition considers the action itself, the content of the corrupt communication, the situation in which it occurs, and perhaps most importantly, the motivations of the people involved.

Ask, seek, knock. Notice the three different senses being considered here. Asking is verbal; Christians must use their mouths and petition God for their needs and desires. And believers are to seek with their minds—this is more than asking; it is a setting of priorities and a focusing of the heart. To knock involves physical movement, one in which the Christian takes action. Although asking and seeking is essential, they would be incomplete without knocking. The apostle John said Christians ought not to love in word alone but with actions also (1 John 3:18). In the same way, it’s good to pray and seek God, but if one does not also act in ways that are pleasing to God, all is for naught. It’s no accident that Jesus said believers should love God with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind (Luke 10:27).

The commands are followed by promises: “Everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened” (Matthew 7:8). God delights in the prayer of faith, and He promises to give us what we need.

What Hills Are Worth Dying For? #2

Major Vs Minor Themes

What Hills Are Worth Dying For?

It’s about finding the right hills to die on:

• First-rank doctrines are those that are essential to the gospel itself.
• Second-rank doctrines are urgent for the health and practice of the church to such a degree that they tend to be the cause of separation at the level of local church, denomination, and/or ministry.
• Third-rank doctrines are important to Christian theology, but not important enough to be the basis for separation.
• Fourth-rank doctrines are unimportant to our gospel witness and ministry collaboration.

Living Life in our Death

The resurrection story beats all resurrection stories. There were other people in the Bible raised to life after death. But they’re no longer with us today. Jesus, however, was raised never to die again. He broke the permanence of death. Today, we talk about dying to our flesh and living in light of our impending deaths.

A Biblical Operating Model

In this episode, we dive into 1 Corinthians 13. As Christians, one of the most difficult challenges we will ever face: loving the unlovable. This chapter from Scripture is about showing Biblical love to everyone, which is hard enough. Still, when you consider that “everyone” includes those who don’t seem to deserve your love, the challenge becomes even more difficult.

A Man’s Label Maker

This episode we talk about the labels we have given ourselves over the years on this earth. We also explore how and what we can do about them in Christ's name.   

Was Jesus an Introvert or Extrovert?

The simple answer: in Jesus, we find the best of every personality type! If you consider yourself an introvert, find the joy that sometimes Jesus came across as an introvert as well. As to the complex answer: A closer look reveals that few of us are fully introverted or entirely extrovert, but to some degree are an ambivert or a mixture of both, so it stands to reason that the God who created us would also reveal Himself as the best of both. Whatever personality you consider yourself, it is a valuable lesson for all of us to recharge, disconnect from the noise around us, engage in quiet and prayer, and refocus our eyes on Jesus before facing whatever is ahead of us.
