It happens to all of us.  None of us is exempt.  No matter how much we want to turn away, we just can’t sometimes.  It’s like watching a train wreck – we don’t want to see it, but we just can’t turn away.  What am I talking about?  I’m talking about GOSSIP.

Unfortunately, we’re suckers for gossip these days.  We may not admit it outright, but it’s the truth.  And when there’s a problem, gossip only does one thing to it…MAKES IT WORSE!

One of the biggest news headlines these days are the scandals of men in leadership roles having extramarital affairs.  Most recently, General David Petraeus - the former Director of the CIA who resigned due to an extramarital affair.  True, that news is a bummer and even stings a little bit.  However, what is the best response that we can have for this (as a Christian)?  The world might not forgive him, maybe not even his family, but Christ certainly will.
