A parable — Tongue

Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth. The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity, set on fire of hell. One small spark in a dry forest in summer. The forest was a hundred years growing. The fire is an afternoon. Ask yourself: What spark did you carry today that could burn a forest? FLOOR — protect what cannot recover. The tongue can no man tame (Jas 3:5-8). Speak short; the forest is the neighbor. (A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)
