“This is a high-strung, neurotic, impatient age. We hurry when there is no reason to hurry, just to be hurrying.

Impatience as produced a crop of broken homes, ulcers, and has set the stage for more world wars.”

How often do we gossip because we want to appear “in the know,”or because we are trying to make ourselves appear better than someone else? The Bible's command is clear: [“Have regard for good things in the sight of all men” (Romans 12:17 NKJV)].”
