Verse number 11 of 1st Timothy chapter 5 reads but the younger widows refuse for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ they will marry having damnation because they have cast off their first faith and with all they learn to be idle again there it is being idle people who aren't working they learn to be idle wandering about from house to house and not only idle but tattlers also and busybodies speaking things which they ought not so we see here again the same the same common problem is that they're idle and this one is directed more towards the ladies as we was talking about younger widows people who's you know they're younger and their their husband has died they passed on so because of this now they've got a lack for free time on their hands and they end up wandering about from house to house get involved in other people's business finding out what's going on what's the latest news what's the gossip what is there new to talk about and it says not only either but tattlers also what's a tattler that's someone who's telling on someone else right so you these ladies are walking about from house to house so they're hearing all the news from different people and then they're going around to the other person oh yeah did you hear about so-and-so oh yeah did you hear this about so-and-so and it's and it's not you know it's one thing to share good news about people right it's one thing to say hey with us you know the Romero's they're our friends they're starting a church they're leaving tomorrow they're gonna have you know it's a great thing to talk about it's it's something nice but this is talking about people were you know if I were to find something just just negative to say about them that there's no reason to be said at all like oh well did you did you know that so and so is you know involved in whatever kind of sin or whatever whatever it is that people want to talk about and get involved in or can you believe they let their kid do this it's like shut up don't worry about their kids you worry about your own kids or worry about your own business don't get so idle that you need to be so much involved in everybody else's business worry about your own business it says but tattlers also in busybodies speaking things which they ought not so according verse there's a lot of things that you could be speaking that you ought not and we need to be careful about this because we saw in James chapter 3 8 the tongue is a world of iniquity the tongue is very easy to get you into sin there's so many ways you can sin with your tongue and this is one of the ways you could do it is by being a tattler or a busybody and speaking things that you ought not and this is the solution to that this is for the younger widows verse number 14 says I will therefore so because of this because this happens because they get idle because they could become busybody is and tellers and go about and do this stuff I will therefore that the younger women marry bear children guide the house give none occasion the adversary to speak reproachfully for some are already turned aside after Satan so why is he saying this why should women marry and bear children guide the house because it's going to keep them busy that will keep them for being idle when you get married all of a sudden now you have a job to do you have to take care of your husband you have to take care of the household you have a lot of you got a lot more work to take care of and we have children even more work to be taken care of you have to watch them teach them train them do all this stuff right it's going to keep you busy and this is the role that God has lamed it laid out for the younger women this is this is God's will turn if you want to first Peter chapter 4 it's a little bit further in your Bible first Peter chapter number four we're going to look at verse number 12 of first Peter chapter 4 Bob says beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing happened unto you but rejoice and as much as ye are partakers of Christ sufferings that when his glory shall be revealed you may be glad also with exceeding joy if ye be reproached for the name of Christ happy are ye for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you on their part he is evil spoken of but on your part he is glorified but let none of you suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as an evildoer or as a busy body in other men's matters so what he's saying here in in in first Peter chapter 4 is saying first you know don't think it's a strange thing when the fiery trial comes when you get tried when you go through persecutions and you're going through these difficult times he's like don't think it's a weird thing we told you about this he says rather rejoice you know when the enemy comes and attacks you but he's saying he says if you be recroach recroach for the name of Christ happy are you you know should be happy if the reason why persecution is coming is because you're living a godly life because you're living as an example to Christians because this you know you're doing what's right hey rejoice and be happy but he was saying is if it's for other reasons if you're suffering persecution because you're a murderer or because you're a thief then that's obviously not a reason to happy to be happy or rejoice that is not a glory for you to suffer in that case and then he adds look at this list murderer thief evildoer these are all pretty bad things this is like violating somebody else right taking somebody's life taking somebody's property or doing evil you know injuring somebody hurting somebody else or a busybody in other men's matters we have a tendency today to think oh it's not that big of a deal really because God just listed it with murderers thieves and evildoers there's four things in that list being a busybody is one of them this is a big deal this is something that we shouldn't just say oh it's not that big of a deal you know it's it's fine to gossip no it's not it's it you need to mind your own business people need to these days mind their own business and it's so it's so prevalent especially with the internet and social media today everyone just wants to know what's good did you see what someone so put on their Facebook page can you believe that and it's just as talking and gossiping back and forth people see to shut up and mind their own business and look these people that want to air all their dirty laundry on the internet shame on you but then shame on the other people who are all caught up in this and just want to talk about it with everybody else mind your own business
