Destruction

The destruction caused by our California wildfires has got me thinking.

First, just a huge thank you to all you firefighters and support personnel! WOW.

The destruction of the fires got me reflecting on these words in James 3. After reading them, check your own words. I’m checking mine.

“It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.” (James 3:5-6 MSG)
