Hearsay is something that we hear from someone that we can’t adequately validate. Gossip is casual or unconstrained conversation about others. Innuendo is a disparaging or suggestive remark or hint about someone. As you can see we have all sorts of ways of communicating falsehoods or misleading information.
Matthew 10:27 says, “What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.” Jesus is telling His disciples that they can confidently speak what they hear from Him. God is the source of all truth, wisdom and knowledge. His Word is light and life.
Don’t be afraid to speak what God is telling you and what you have learned from His Word. It will be a source of light to others, drawing them closer to God. We can be confident in speaking the truth out of love for others and for God.
