Did You Know? The strongest muscle in the human body in proportion to its size is the tongue. As you gather with your family this Christmas, remember the power of the tongue described in James 3:5: The tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!;, Proverbs 18:21: Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Words kill and words give life. They’re either poison or fruit.
