I was at church, and the pastor was talking about why it s bad to gossip about people. He said it s like killing someone as a person. Then, someone called the pastor on the phone and started getting upset.
"If you gossip, there s no point in coming to church," the pastor said.
I have been gossiped about all my life at church, but I never called the pastor because of it. This is just one of many things people say. For example, today, a lady told me, "If you don t do the right thing at church, I will teach you." I smiled and said, "Teach me." Next time, she might "teach me" in a better way.
Why do people get upset so easily in today s world?
You can t say anything without offending someone. If the pastor didn t hear or understand the meaning of the words, why take sides?
People gossip in front of others and behind their backs every day without even realising it. Instead of calling the pastor, this person should have spoken directly to the person they had an issue with to understand the full story. Saying, "I won t go to church because of this person" doesn t seem right.
I don t feel like going anymore.
What should I do?.
