SLOW TO ANGER (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. Slow To Anger

Ecclesiastes 7:9   
Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart  of fools.

Proverbs 14:29  
Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,  but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

Proverbs 16:32   
Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. 


The End ...
