ACCEPTABLE ANGER (3)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Temper

a) Many people can identify with the problem of having a temper or showing anger.  If we are honest with ourselves, we all fight this issue in our lives.  With some people the issue with anger is a habitual sin the keeps occurring over and over again.  For others, it is a problem that rears its ugly head in our life from time to time.  

b) But what does the Bible say about temper and anger?  Is it a sin to be angry?  Is it always a sin to be angry?  Scripture has much to say on this topic, as often our anger is the outflow of often a deeper spiritual problem. 

2. Acceptable Anger

Psalms 7:11  
God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels  indignation every day.

Mark 3:5 
And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at  their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.”  He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

Mark 10:14 
But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them,  “Let the children come to me;  do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 


The End ...
