The Power of the Tongue James 3:1-12

The tongue is a small but mighty part of our body. WIth it we Bless God and with it we sadly, say unkind things to one another, whom God also created and loves. That ought not to be so James tells us. As we bridle a horse and steer with a bit and reigns, so too we need to find a way to bridle and keep our mouth in check so we use our words for Good and not for ill. That's easier said than done, yes. Yet, it is something we can work on and aspire to.
