(Luke 5:5) - Simon answered, “Master, we have worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat


Vs 4 - Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.


Small Part = Big Influence

Vs. 5 - Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.


Vs. 6 - The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of your body.


· We are ALL born with our pilot lights lit.

Vs. 6 - It corrupts the whole body sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.


Vs 7 - All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind...


Vs. 7 - But no human being can tame the tongue.


Vs. 8 - It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.


Vs 9 - With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness!


Vs 10-11 - My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevines bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Quick to listen... Slow to speak.

HEARD and UNDERSTOOD

(James 1:19 NIV) - My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this:

…Everyone should be quick to listen...

…be quick to listen and be slow to speak...

“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry…"

Conclusion - the longer you listen, the more we Learn, the Less angry we will become.

Everything everyone DOES makes sense to them.

Vs 20 "…because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."

You want to be right AT each other; God wants you right WITH each other.

· As I have loved you, love one another!!


Therefore, get rid of all moral filth...

…get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent...

…and humbly accept the word that has been planted in you…

Humility says “WE are more important than Me.”

…humbly accept the word that has been planted in you, which is able to save you.

WIN - Don’t settle for being right. Make things right.
