God's top ten 9

It's amazing how when a celebrity dies, how quick the world finds out. It's interesting because as the weeks go by the story begins to change. Sometimes the whole story changes. How many times have we heard information about another person that wasn't true? How many times have we repeated information about a person that was not true? Why do we do this? The ninth commandment says, "You shall not bear false witness." When we spread gossip about someone, accuse someone falsely, or lie about another person, we are not only slandering, but we are breaking one of God's laws. I think if we would practice the principal of being slow to speak and quick to listen, we would stay out of a lot of trouble.
