Are you a tale-bearer or a peace-maker?

Proverbs chapter 20 verse 19 reminds us, that a gossip betrays a confidence; therefore, anyone who talks too much and spreads gossip is a tale-bearer and should be avoided. Proverbs 26 chapter 20 reminds us, that where there is no wood the fire goes out. Therefore, if we are peace-makers we would allow the embers to die down, rather than fanning the flames. Praise the Lord!
