James 3:5-6

Of all the sinful behaviors James mentions in his letter (including envy, ambition, murder, and fraud), he spends the most time talking about sins of the tongue. We need to remind ourselves constantly that gossiping, for example, ranks right up there with what we generally consider to be much more serious sins. However, as James puts it, "How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire."
