Deny One
Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits. Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty. Exodus 23:6-7 NIV
So many times in my life I have watched as an innocent person was �put to death�. I�m not talking about capital punishment. I�m talking about crucifixion by gossip and words of destruction. The rumor mill has destroyed many reputations; caused people to lose interest in God and the church; and destroyed people�s sense of self worth.
Can I ask you to strongly consider the way you talk about someone else�s life or situation? Will you sincerely consider if you are speaking truth; and even if what you are saying is true, what the motive is behind your words? If your desire is to share the latest �news� from the streets, will it help or hurt another�s reputation? Will it bring someone closer to Christ or further away? Will what you say help to share the love o f Christ or is it an evil of the tongue?
Let�s let our talk be filled with truth, kindness, compassion and goodwill and never deny a person the same respect we would want others to give to us.
