Seek God's Forgiveness - Proverbs 16:28

A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends. - Proverbs 16:28

I wonder what evil desire motivates organizations such as the Foundation of Religious Freedom (at least I think that's their name).  They would probably say something like peace and unity....if this is so then why stir up conflict.  Why do they constantly use force to go after religion - excuse me, I mean - to go after Christianity in the public space?  Their hatred for Christianity is well documented. Now they attack Chaplains who Universities allow on the sidelines...my head hurts trying to figure this one out.

Proverbs says a perverse person will stir up conflict.  My guess is that organizations like the one above and atheists alike do not like Christianity because God's Word reveals their perverse nature and that perversion exposes their need for God.  So if they eradicate Christianity then they will not face their perversions anymore and would be able to live in peace...oh the tangled web we weave when we practice deception especially upon ourselves.

Then there is the gossip who cannot keep to themselves but just have to tell others the latest news - without any facts or without allowing a person to take responsibility.  Gossips have a "me" attitude. They are constantly trying to draw attention to themselves at the expense of others, and it hurts relationships.

Gossiping is a sinful act as much as any other perversion because, along with all sin, it seeks to separate us from God.  The great thing about God is that He prefers forgiveness.  He prefers to forgive and help us straighten out our lives.  Don't let perversion create conflict in your life anymore.  Seek God's forgiveness.  Don't let gossip be a part of your life and destroy relationships.  Seek God's forgiveness.
