Dave:
As one brother in our church says "Talk to Jesus about it." Why do 
we have to go open the door for "gossip" to others when Jesus is the
best person we can talk to? And when we talk to Him about it, He doesn't
tell anybody! Cool!

Many times, our "concern" is "worry" which is straight out sin. If a
person is truly concerned, they will pray for that individual and try to
restore them or encourage them, not get on the Hallelujah Hotline and
ask everyone in church about them. We should go directly to the person
we are "concerned" about if it truly is a concern...and of course, pray
for them always!
