It was just announced in church on Sunday that a certain person is coming to teach on the following weekend, and everyone was encouraged to attend. You don't know anything about that person, so you go home and the first thing you think to do is get onto the Internet and see what you can find out about theat person and his/her ministry. What are you going to find? Unfortunately much of the information will be what God's word calls "tale-bearing". What God calls tale-bearing, we also call tattling or gossip. Now, it is called investigative reporting. Many ministries have been ser up to do "investigative reporting" about other ministries and ministry leaders.

How does God view this practice? How does ir affect your life? How can you deal with the problem when you are the object of such gossip and web sites?
