So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire” (vv. 5-6)
A professional football game in the United States includes many rituals. Fans who arrive early watch the players take the field in more casual athletic gear, so they can stretch, jog, throw and catch pass, and otherwise perform their various rituals.
Some players from opposing teams will greet each other in a friendly fashion, exchange pleasantries, and in other ways act entirely differently from gladiators about to engage in combat. Others may circle warily, not making eye contact exactly, but making it clear just what they think of each other. Some will give interviews to television and print reporters. Others block on the world playing music on their headphones.

What is StoryShare?
StoryShare is a treasure house with hundreds of good stories to share, stories which relate authentic, life-changing experiences that demonstrate the Lord's power and presence. Many are intensely personal accounts that concern visions, healing, or answers to prayers, but all bear witness to the indescribable joy, comfort and peace that come from a personal encounter with the divine. Our "Good Stories" section includes short fiction, parables much like those Jesus told.
Can I share stories that I have?
Yes, you can. You have good stories to share too, probably more than you know: personal stories, and stories from others that you have used over the years. StoryShare is always looking for stories involving personal experiences of the presence of God. Have you or someone you know heard the voice of God or been healed as a direct answer to prayer? If you have a story that you can share send it to StoryShare for review. Simply click here (storyshare@sermonsuite.com) and email your story to us.
