ACCEPTABLE ANGER (4)

(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

John 3:36  
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;  whoever does not obey the Son shall not  see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

2 Corinthians 7:11 
For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter.

Ephesians 4:26  
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.


The End ...
