AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 3:5 In the same sense, the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See [by comparison] how great a forest is set on fire by a small spark! |
Bible Question (short): How about the other kind of tongues? |
Question (full): How about the other kind of tongues? Does anyone else here ever pray for the gift of ears or the gift of silence? James 3 may descibes the source of more problems in most peoples lives, including my own, than almost any other common fault. As one man said: "God gave you two ears and one tongue. So you should listen twice as much as you speak." We know that "faith comes by hearing", not by talking. On the other hand we don't want the forum to grind to a halt. :-) |
