James 3:1-12
Points to ponder
*we all stumble in many ways
Illustrations of the tongue's power
1. Bits & Rudder = Power to direct
- often small but can direct
- words we speak can affect the lives of others
ex. when a judge calls a verdict "guilty" or "not-guilty"
- can also encourage or discourage others
2. Fire & Animals = Power to destroy
- evil words has the power to destroy and are very dangerous when spoken
- like serpents, some tongues spread poison
- can depress
- sets the course of the persons life on fire
3. Fountain & Fig tree = Power to Delight
- like fountains and springs that refreshes us
