Loose Lips Sink Ships
![Loose Lips Sinks Ships – a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Just like the idea that “Loose lips sinks ships.”, gossip is pure poison and can be destructive in our lives and those around us."](http://www.experiencetherock.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/blog-loose-lips-sink-ships-1024x480.jpg)
During WWII, the idiom “Loose lips sink ships.” was created. People needed to know the effects of careless words and unguarded talk. “Loose lips” could leak secrets to the enemy, spread rumors, or create issues between people groups. Information passed from person to person could have grave results. Especially if the information wasn’t true.
Similarly, this concept was also understood and written about by Solomon in Proverbs 11:13:
“A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.”
