sermonette: The Anger of Man
Righteous and Unrighteous Anger
Clyde Finklea
Given 26-Mar-05; Sermon #711s; 16 minutes
Description: (hide)
Clyde Finklea focuses on anger, identifying the contexts in which expressing anger is appropriate and when it is not: righteous anger and sinful anger. Jesus often expressed anger toward the Pharisees for their lack of compassion. Righteous anger is controlled, unselfish, and directed toward sinful acts, while sinful anger is uncontrolled, selfish, and directed toward people in malice, hatred, and revenge. Anger greatly augments many physical maladies, as the immune system becomes compromised when anger gets out of control. Unrighteous anger is defeated when we: 1) acknowledge sinful anger, 2) examine its causes, and 3) put on kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness, emulating our Elder Brother Jesus Christ. Man's wrath does not produce God's righteousness.
