James 3:1-12
1) The importance of the tongue in life. How does this member become bad? Through bad actions it behaves sinfully.
-3 tools: bit (3), rudder, fire
2) James explains the origin of this member. The tongue was in God's image, created to praise God. With the tongue, man dominated over the animals.
However, after the fall, the tongue accused and made man doubt. Man cannot dominate the tongue. But there is an exception: those to whom God gives wisdom.
3) The spring. Two types of water cannot come from the same spring. The spring is our heart. If the heart is first natural, then salty, it becomes unclean.
