“A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence”—Proverbs 11:13
I’m not laying this charge against Dobson (I don’t know the circumstances), but I share your distaste for Christian blabber mouthing. It’s destructive to betray a confidence. Spiritual maturity enables one to hear a confidence and BURY IT before the Lord. No weaving it in books, sermons, TV shows or conversations showing “concern”!
How awesome if we all matured to this point!
Matthew 8:4
Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
