ANGER 2: UNRIGHTEOUS (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Anger

a) Of all the things in the human heart, anger can be one of the most intense, destructive, and unhealthy emotions that we can experience. If not handled in the proper way, it can have drastic life-changing consequences.

b) Anger may be caused by pressures of work, family or even from being the innocent victim of another’s wrong-doing.  Left unresolved, anger creates an intense desire to destroy something.

c) Regardless of the reason for anger, the Bible has answers on what causes anger, either good (righteous) or bad (unrighteous) anger and how we should deal with it as Christians.

2. Unrighteous 

Genesis 4:5-8 

But for Cain and his offering he [the LORD] had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen?  If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

Psalms 37:8 
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!  Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.

The End ...
