Contemporary author Ken Sande
offers a concise but helpful definition. “To gossip means to betray a
confidence or to discuss unfavorable personal facts about another person with
someone who is not part of the problem or its solution.”1 This definition
has been used by many people to decide if someone is gossiping. I believe that
the rubric of being a “part of the problem or its solution” is a helpful way of
saying, “Is this being offered in love?”
