One thing I struggle with is the line between doing what's right and what's wrong. I am planning on joining bible study once I return from our vacation. Let's take gossiping for example. It's a sin to gossip but so many people do it. What is really defined as gossip? I know that if you're in company of a sinner you can't judge them for what they are doing. I don't want to judge anyone and I want to be able to say that I don't gossip. Is gossip telling a friend that her husband is lying to her? Is gossip asking a friend about a situation they were in? I'm confused on what God means by gossip. Is it just talking about rumors or what you've heard about so-in-so?
As you can tell I'm still learning. And this is one of the things that I feel strongly about. I want to fully understand what it means to be a Christian. Not just say, "I'm a Christian." I want to live like a Christian. So, you'll be hearing about how my first bible study goes soon enough :)

Des,
I think that's a real good question. It is really hard not to fall into gossip sessions. To me, I guess gossip is spreading rumors that may or may not be true or telling about so-in-so as you said. If you know a fact that someone should know or you're trying to help someone by sharing something, I don't believe it's gossip. But, that's my take on it. I look forward to hearing about your bible study. Wish I could find a good one to join!
