Anger
- How do you feel when you get angry?
- Has your anger made you hit someone before? Or do you bottle it up
inside until you are seething?
- Do you find that it is uncontrollable?
- Would you like to be able to not project your anger on other people?
Everyone gets angry from time to time. In fact, the Bible records Jesus
getting angry on a few occasions. Anger becomes a problem when it is
uncontrolled and you react to anger in the wrong way.
The Bible says, "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone
should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for
man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires." James
1:19-20
Ephesians 4:26-27 notes that, "In your anger do not sin: do
not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give
the devil
a foothold."
Proverbs 29:11, "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a
wise man keeps himself under control."
Proverbs 15:1, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh
words stirs up anger."
