We live in a society that's filled with gossip and rumors. Every day there are opportunities to talk about others. But as innocent as it may seem to gossip, this actually can keep us from God's best. In this message, Joel teaches us the power of mercy and the importance of keeping quiet. Proverbs says, "Have you heard a word against your neighbor? Then let it die within you." When we protect a reputation, we are sowing seeds for our time of need. Mercy sets the tone for blessing in your life.
