\nI’m going to break ranks tonight and go on a little rant. You can thank my bride for the fact that I do this very infrequently – I know she will remind me that this is not what you signed up for!<\/p>\nOkay, that done …. If you forward an e-mail that contains exaggerations, intentional lies, or just inaccurate information, are you guilty of gossip? Those who practice such things are deserving of death according to Romans 1:29-32! If we don’t verify it, are we guilty? Can we blindly click forward and tell God we didn’t know?<\/p>\n
My reason for this rant is a growing number of inaccurate, urban legend, and slanderous e-mails forwarded to me by those who say they follow Jesus. I do not actually question that they desire to follow Jesus, but I am sure Jesus would not forward gossip! The e-mail that put me over the top was one I received today which seemed to me to be an attempt to scare white voters into voting against Obama. I don’t think this was the intent of the person who forwarded the e-mail to me, but I rather strongly suspect the person who crafted the e-mail was attempting to doing that. The e-mail contained bits of truth, held together with inaccuracies, innuendos, and outright lies.<\/p>\n
Just something to think about before you share what falls into your Inbox!<\/p>\n
