1.) A Powerful Twist (3-5a)
Just like big beasts are controlled by small bits and massive ships are guided by tiny rudders our tongues have disproportionate power for boasting.

2.) A Satanic Twist (5b-6)
Just like a forest is destroyed by a small spark our destructive tongues: pollute, set on fire and are set on fire by hell.

Healing a Twisted Tongue
Yield to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, Be guided in speech and conduct by God's Word and Be enflamed by the Holy Spirit.
