True meaning and purpose in life is only found in the hope Christ brings.

Big Idea:

If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also:

​

though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.

“

How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!  And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.

​

For every kind of beast and bird, reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 

​

“

Our tongues reveal to ourselves and to others where our hope lies.

Our lives pass as a mere breath.

​

​

Life has hope because Christ came and will come again.
