1
Fire --- Its blaze to choose
Speak! Inspire! Fuel heart's desire
Words define the perfect soul
2
The tongue is a fire
It can be dangerous at times
It can be controlled
3
The tongue is a fire
It is very good and bad
Use it for good, please
4
When the tongue of fire
Is like a Storm in life's path
The bit is to reign.
5
The tongue speaks good things?
Use tongue to become perfect!
The tongue speaks bad things?
6
Tongue of fire can
Be good or bad just like fire
Can be a bad thing.
7
The tongue is fire
A horse is very, very bridled
Our tongue can be bridled
8
As the tongue of fire
May and can spread wildly
Be sure to speak truth
9
Tongue and frontal lobe
Working together as one
Prevent a fire storm
10
The tongue is rudder
Controls the body with words
Good or bad can be.
11
Fire like tongues
Tongues like ice
Some good, some bad
I taught a lesson today in Sunday School on James 3. We discussed that if we are desiring to seek the mastery over many things and move our way towards the perfection of God, we must also accept its consequences and possible condemnation if we fail. James states that the perfect man is able to not offend other. He declares that it is a small thing that controls the whole body for defilement or for divinity, this is the tongue. Our words are like the fire, both something that can destroy, demean, defile and denigrate others around us. But also like fire tongues can be used to warm, warn, give worth to, and make others feel wanted. How we choose to use our words? Will you choose to become the perfect man James speaks of?
