Being Careful About Anger

The Bible doesn’t forbid anger and it doesn’t condemn it outright, but it does caution us to be slow to get angry.  Because anger is such a powerful and consuming emotion it can easily spiral out of control quickly.  Before we know it, in anger, we can say & do things we regret.  So, be very careful about where anger can lead us.  “In your anger, do not sin…” Psalm 4:4

To paraphrase a wise man I once heard speaking on a Sunday in Oak Lawn, it's not necessarily anger that's the sin, but the actions that can come from anger that are the sin. :) I thought that was a great way of putting it.

Wow, that guy who was speaking on a Sunday in Oak Lawn sounds like he was a GENIUS!
