The Power of the Tongue Part 3

James tells us: "every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed.I want you to compare something. I want you to take for a moment and on one side look at every species of animal in the entire animal kingdom, and on the other side I want you to look at the human tongue, and I want to make a comparison. The whole realm of nature on the one hand versus the tongue on the other." And of course he's going to say that in our human nature we have tamed every type of beast. They are being tamed and they have been tamed. Every manner of beast and bird and reptile and creature of the sea is now being tamed and has been tamed. That's a perfect tense which speaks of something in past action that has ongoing results. Every single one we are either taming now or they have been tamed. Every animal's power is channeled in and is brought by the force of the power of humanity into subjection. He says, "Look at that," and then he says, "now look at the human tongue. That is the monster that can't be tamed.That is the monster with which we must all contend." No human being can tame the tongue.
