📣 Before You Repeat It… Test It First

We may not gossip out loud, but let’s be honest—many of us have become excellent listeners of gossip, rumors, and half-truths. And in a world where news cycles spin stories faster than we can verify them, Christians are often swept into spreading a “narrative” we never meant to repeat.

That’s why 1 Thessalonians 5:21–23 must become our daily watchword:

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil… and the very God of peace sanctify you wholly.”

If we asked ourselves just three questions before we share anything—something we heard… something we read… something we saw—gossip would die in 95% of cases:

1️⃣ Is it right—and according to whose perception?
Sometimes what sounds “right” is only right to the one retelling the story.

2️⃣ Is it slanted in meaning or content to achieve an intended goal?
Every narrative has an agenda. Not every agenda is godly.

3️⃣ Does it bring glory to God, to me, or to someone else?
If it glorifies anyone other than God, it’s not worth repeating.

Believers must be vigilant.
Not every headline is truth.
Not every “breaking story” is trustworthy.
Not every whisper deserves our attention.

When we test what we hear, we protect our testimony.
When we filter what we share, we protect our witness.
And when we glorify God with our words, we protect our hearts.
