Despite our seemingly casual attitude toward it, slander is a particularly destructive sin. Writing in the 1828 edition of his dictionary, Noah Webster defined slander as “a false tale or report maliciously uttered, and tending to injure the reputation of another by lessening him in the esteem of his fellow citizens, by exposing him to impeachment and punishment, or by impairing his means of living.” Slander strikes at people’s dignity, defames their character, and destroys their reputation – their most priceless worldly asset (Proverbs 22:1; Ecclesiastes 7:1).

potatoes as directed on package for 4 servings - except decrease water to 1

seconds or until liquid is absorbed. Whip with fork until desired
consistency.) Stir in egg and green onions. Spread and press potato mixture
evenly against bottom and side of a 10 inch deep-dish pie plate sprayed
with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown.
Cook ground beef and chopped onion in 10-inch skillet, stirring
occasionally, until beef is brown; drain thoroughly. Stir in remaining
