Taylor, Jasmine, and Kim's James assignment

        In James 3 we learned that the tongue is very powerful. It a small part of the body. It can cause great damages though. It is like water. You need it and use it, but it can also be harmful. Jmaes 3:5-6 says, "5Likewise 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. 6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."
       No man can tame teh tongue. Man can tame just about anything else except the tongue. We don't have enough self-control and discipline to control our tongue. We need God's help. James3:7-8 says, "7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison."
      We need God's wisdom in this crazy world. His wisdom is pure. It is supreme. It is peace-loving and considerate. It is also full of mercy and grace. The End.
