More practical theology - practical faith from James. The tongue is a fire. Today we have two things to talk about fire, and one about water. 1) Our words can be like fire that scorches the lives of others. We see this all the time. From the people who lead our nation to the people inside our own homes. 2) Words of gossip can spread like wildfire. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. Gossip spreads and can consume entire communities. 3) Water - our words can be like fresh life-giving water. James is connecting to the creation story with this image.
