James 3:3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

Words that we all need to hear on a regular basis.

We can let our tongues be set on fire by hell and bring evil to the world through our bodies, or we can let our tongues be set on fire with a Holy Spirit flame and bring into the world the light and love of Jesus Christ. It only takes a spark to get any fire going. May the spark be from the right source so that your words are something you want fanned into fame.
