Keep listening for part two with Dr. J. B. Haas, the book of James.

You talk about the tongue is a fire. That's chapter three. The tongue can no man tame.

My guess is we're in good company.

You know, we're all going to be in good company.

This is why I think the tongue of angels talk resonated with people is that.

One of that questions is, well, what do we do? I think this is one of those things that we can

pray that the spirit maybe holds us back. I think about section 63 of the

doctrine says this passage about being careful about how we speak about sacred things,

and then it uses this interesting word, the constraint of the spirit.

If we expand what we think about, you know, our relationships, these things that the those are creating the image of God

as being sacred things and we're being so careful how we speak about them I I think

that could be one next step is that I can pray that the spirit will restrain me and constrain me.

So hold me back and then sometimes when I shouldn't say something and push me forward when I should say something and to be more sensitive to those nudgings

That's one thing the spirit can help us do is to give us those feelings. Don't say what you're just about to say

I want to be that kind of receptive and to listen. I call them emotion urges. You feel an emotion, anger or fear, and this urge comes comes I better say this and if you can say nope I'm not

going to follow my emotional urge I'm going to hold back that's like a

controlling the tongue that's like a controlling the tongue.

That's good, Hank.

I think that's the bit in the horse.

Something really powerful, or a rudder,

how much wind force can be controlled with just a little rudder.

Very small rudder, yeah.
