Anger

October 11, 2020 | Geoffrey Turner

Unrighteous anger destroys life (Ephesians 4:26). Anger itself is not a sin. In fact, there is a righteous anger towards injustice that we should all feel. But more often, what we do with our anger moves us into a place of sin. Whether our response is uncontrolled yelling, physical violence or destruction, quiet smoldering, passive aggressiveness, slander, or bitterness, we end up hurting our relationships and missing the abundant life God has for us. We slay the giant of anger in our lives by intentionally seeking to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry (James 1:19). And when we sin in our anger, we should act quickly to expose it, confess it, and bring it into the light, so that we can receive prayer, encouragement, and healthy accountability.
