The Word on Anger


From Boaz Ministries

There is a way to be angry and not sin. If it were not so, the Bible wouldn't have made it so plain. "In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."( Ephesians 4:26 New International Version)

We hear a great deal about folks with "anger issues". It is my belief that the cure can be found in the peace that comes from our Lord and Savior. And believers are hard pressed for an excuse to get twisted and "break new" when something goes wrong in the relationship.

James 1:19-20 (God's Word Translation) tells us," Remember this, my dear brothers and sisters: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and should not get angry easily. An angry person doesn't do what God approves of."

Finally, Solomon wrote many truths about the quick temper in Proverbs. A favorite is:

"People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness." (Proverbs 14:29 New Living Translation)
