A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. — Chales Spurgeon

Gossip, libel, slander, and lies are all in the same family. They’re so hazardous that when God defined the Ten Commandments, He decided to include one that would deal directly with all of them: You shall not bear false witness to your neighbor.

Among so many other things for God to regulate, He chose this one. Why?

Because it’s one of the greatest injustices you can commit against someone. Even if you undo the lie later, the damage is already done.

• Don’t be the creator of such an aggression towards someone, no matter who it may be
• When you hear a rumor, news, hearsay, or a story packed with cruelty against someone, be careful; perhaps the messenger or author of the message has other motives for you to believe it.
• Don’t judge so you won’t be judged — Jesus. Know this, the evil you commit towards someone will come back to you
