This one is really important because it involves the heart of the matter:
"The Big Mo - Motivation."
WHY do we gossip?
Can you give a sentence or even a word for a possible motivation for sinful gossip?
Here are a few words to get you going:
Revenge
Jealousy
Boredom
Titillation
I'm hoping to compile about 25 of these.
The best of them (or categories that summarize them) will find their way into a sermon next Sunday!
Thanks, friends, for participating.

Many times we will mock or laugh at other peoples "situations", to mask how we feel about ourselves. So if I were to narrow it down into a word... how about "self-consciousness".
How about for reasons related to "fitting-in"? I think that sometimes people gossip so that they can be a part of the conversation. If they know something 'interesting' about another person they might get people to listen to them.
Great thoughts, Anon!
Thank you.
