ANGER & VENGEANCE (1)

(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. Anger And Vengeance

Proverbs 15:1   
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:18   
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

Proverbs 29:11  
A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

Proverbs 29:22   
A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression. 


The End ...
