I recently read some helpful words by Dan Phillips about putting out the flames of gossip before the do their damage.
First, understand what gossip is. Gossip is spreading harmful information in an ungodly manner — without love, and thus to no positive end. Its offspring are the triplets: Strife, Dissension, Division. Once again, my focus is the life of the local church [or workplace].Second, do any or all of the following steps, as needed. Some of them help identify whether you're actually hearing gossip or not. All of them will stop it dead. But none will work... unless used.
