James said our tongue is small, but it's super powerful!
A tiny rudder steers a giant ship. A tiny spark can start a big forest fire. Our words can do big things too, good or bad!
James said it's silly to praise God with our mouth and then say mean things to people with the same mouth. Let's use our words to bless!
