sermon: Anger (Part 1)
Sinful Anger Versus Righteous Anger
Martin G. Collins
Given 25-Apr-09; Tape #935; 68 minutes
Description: (hide)
Martin Collins, reflecting on his computer woes, suggests that the world is becoming angrier. Anger, whether explosive or smoldering, can lead to high blood pressure, migraine headaches, or can ultimately lead to our spiritual demise. God gets angry with the wicked every day, but is solution oriented. Jesus had anger toward the Pharisees for the hardness of their hearts as well as for the money changers defiling the temple. We ought to have indignation and anger at our own sin with righteous or godly sorrow. If we love God we must hate evil, including gay marriage, killing babies, and enforced legislative perversion motivated by a hopelessly debased, reprobate mind. Our citizenry has lost its capacity to feel indignation at sin and perversion. Our government is rushing headlong into socialism, communism, and communitarianism, while teaching that perversion is 'normal.' While we are commanded to be indignant or angry, we can not be angry in a sinful manner, allowing ourselves to become provoked or irritated, seething with rage. Anger should not be nursed until it becomes an entrenched condition. We parents dare not provoke our children to wrath, discouraging them. Several wrong ways to deal with anger are to try to bury anger, to bottle it up, or to ventilate it. We must ask God for the power of the Holy Spirit to remove uncontrolled anger.
