The Sprinter
This person is quick to speak and slow to listen to others. They will give advice but deny responsibility. They very much enjoy gossip and behave like fools. They typically do not come to your aid. There are many people in this world that love to “talk”, especially if they can say something bad whether it be about work, the handyman, friends, or family. People delight about digging up dirt. What exactly constitutes improper speech about others? In the book of Titus, it states, Christians are told to speak evil of NO ONE. Gossip, slander, rumors, revile, talebearer (a person who spreads malicious stories) are all forms of speaking evil. These sprinter types usually deny all responsibility for the harm they cause with their speech. Get control of your speech and your life will follow. Be aware of what those around you are saying. If they are talking about others, chances are they are also talking about you.
