Although they are so large and are\ndriven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot\nwants to go. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>5<\/b><\/font>  Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great\nboasts.<br>\nConsider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>6<\/b><\/font>  The tongue also is a\nfire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the\nwhole course of one\u2019s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>7<\/b><\/font>  All kinds of\nanimals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by\nmankind, \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>8<\/b><\/font>  but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of\ndeadly poison.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>9<\/b><\/font>  With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human\nbeings, who have been made in God\u2019s likeness. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>10<\/b><\/font>  Out of the same mouth come\npraise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>11<\/b><\/font>  Can both fresh\nwater and salt water flow from the same spring? \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>12<\/b><\/font>  My brothers and sisters, can a fig\ntree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh\nwater.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sermon from St Andrews Church, Slip End, UK.
