Hands down…it is gossip! Everyone knows that adultery is sinful, but few seem to realize that sowing discord among brethren through gossip is so bad that it is listed as one of the seven deadly sins! (Pro. 6:16-19) We can easily reach out to restore and mark out adultery, but convincing the ‘average’ believer of the gross violation of unity through gossip takes a radical mental shift through transformation of their mind to understand. (just my opinion) 🙂
Terry, I agree. It’s a no-brainer for me, yet the churches and pastors of America seem to preach endlessly about the horrors of adultery (and they get no argument from me on that one) but almost never on gossip which works like a cancer in the Body of Christ.
