The Narrow Path Ministries

Thanks Steve, that was very thorough and insight full - yet hardly practiced.

Like the phrase "bless his heart" makes it OK to spe...

What is gossip biblically speaking? Is it spreading false rumors/ lies? Is it always wrong to talk about another person's faults when they are not present? Where is the line?
