It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell (James 3:6). The Western United States is currently experiencing unprecedented wildfires and smoke pollution. We are watching helplessly as these fires burn out of control despite heroic firefighting. In much the same way, the tongue has ignited untold fires nationally as well. Think political shouting matches. Think clashes between protesters. Think reputations and lives decimated on social media, a dry grass that once ignited burns unchecked.
