People who write movie scripts love to frustrate the audience. One particular plot always works; they pull you into wanting a relationship to work between two main characters. Then, they find some way for things to unravel. Often the plot involves a sinister associate who fabricates some falsehood and drives a wedge of mistrust or anger between the two people you want to see together. What really drives you crazy is that the remedy seems so obvious; they just need to be honest and upfront about the information they’ve heard and discover the truth. We watch in disbelief at how easily they accept inaccurate information as fact. We yell at the screen, “Just ask them about what you heard!” Unfortunately, this happens all too often in our own lives. That is why Proverbs 16:28 says, “…a gossip separates friends.” We need to learn not to believe those little morsels of bad news about our friends so easily. We need to take the time to check the facts before we allow a bit of gossip ruin a good friendship. Before you say, “I used to like them,” make sure you know the truth.
