Another Fire

Associated Press headline: “Boy with matches started fire.” (October 31, 2007, describing one source of the most recent California fires)
Local Church headline: “Member playing with words starts fire.” (Way to often, describing the source of incredible damage to the Body of Christ)

I repeat the admonition of a few weeks back – “Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites. And the tongue is a fire. The tongue. . .sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by Hell.” (James 3:6)

We need to remind our kids and our arsonistic friends never to play with matches. We need to remind each other never to play with words. Both are too dangerous to imagine.
