Is it gossip if you spread a rumor that might be true? Or if it’s a rumor that wouldn’t hurt anyone if they knew?
The golden rule has to answer that question: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Spreading rumors can hurt others… especially if they’re true. Are you “all ears” when someone is spreading gossip? Do you love to talk about others? Do you feel guilty about that?
“Nah. It’s not hurting anyone. They won’t find out.”
Wait a minute… would you want others to talk that way about you? If not, shut your mouth. Shut your ears. Shut your eyes. Shut down the rumors.
Sometimes, rumors are not bad (like rumors about tshirts). Just be careful… will the rumor hurt someone if they found out? If so, leave it alone.

Jesus Loves Me, 3-part round style (song 92)
Jesus loves me this I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
He shed His blood on the cross of Calvary.
He shed His blood on the cross of Calvary.
There he gave His life for me.
Victory Song (song 99)
Through our God, we shall do valiantly,
It is He Who will tread down our enemies,
We’ll sing and shout His victory, Christ is King!
For God has won the victory and set His people free,
His word has slain the enemy.
The earth shall stand and see that
Through our God, we shall do valiantly,
It is He Who will tread down our enemies,
We’ll sing and shout His victory, Christ is King!
Christ is King, Christ is King!
