Notes:
James used negative illustrations, but these capabilities are necessarily evil
in reality, the tongue has no power by itself.
It depends on the power behind it.
the ship’s rudder depends on the pilot
the horse’s bit depends on the horse rider
the fire depends on the wind
the tongue depends on the person using it.

The mature Christian has power over his tongue.
He does not stumble in what he says.
James 3.

He uses the tongue for good.
Note: the bit, the rudder and the fire are useful instruments.
His tongue delivers wisdom.
Proverb s 15.
His tongue is gracious.
Titus 2.7-8
His tongue is gracious.
His tongue destroys only that which is wicked and evil.
