Scorched Earth Policy

In order to keep the wildfires from jumping lines and roads the firefighters in California are setting backfires. President Trump sets a lot of verbal backfires in an attempt to contain his adversaries, but his method often resembles a scorched earth policy. We believers possess the same flame throwing weapon as the President. James said, “Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison” (James 3:5-8 NIV).
