Tame the Tongue

In Scripture, James compares the tongue to a small fire that can set a whole forest ablaze. He describes it as a world of unrighteousness and a deadly poison. Since humans can’t tame it, we must turn to God for help.

Grandpa Paul reflects on a time when he was punished for something he said. He didn’t intend to hurt anyone, but the one in authority heard and understood it as a curse against the one he loved.
