What Manner?

Romans 1: 29

²⁹ They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness…

Nothing hurts a church more than someone spreading false rumors.

If we’re all honest though, we’ve all had a hand in spreading some sort of rumor over time.

The latest one that has affected me, is the one that someone is currently going around with.

It’s suggested that someone we asked to come in and minister to our church, is being paid regularly out of the church benevolence fund.

Where they got their information, is anyone’s guess, and it just isn’t true!

Sometimes the spin is actually trying to create permanent damage, on purpose.

Rumors are sinful, make no mistake about it.

Starting them or adding fuel to them, God still hates.

Paul said these sorts of people were filled with unrighteousness.

There is no room in the church for a misrepresentation of the truth.

If we hear rumors floating around, the best thing we can do is to stomp them out.

I don’t think we have to do some exhaustive Bible study, to know that starting or fostering rumors is wrong.

Maybe if we focused more on the truth, the truth would actually set us free…
