“The truth is that others judge us. More than that, they evaluate the truth of the Gospel by what they see of our lives and our integrity.

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)].”
