Danger of Anger
Temperance
James 1:19,20 - Be slow to wrath, because the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness
of God. Again, not all anger is forbidden. It does not say to never be angry but to be slow to anger.
The problem with anger is what it
"produces" or leads to.
Proverbs 14:17 - A quick-tempered man acts foolishly. Not all anger is sinful, but we must
take care lest we "fly off the handle," lose control, and act wrongly. [Prov. 29:22]
2 Ways we can sin with Anger
1. Holding it in and letting it fester. When we allow this to happen bitterness and strife
can began to take hold of us. (James 3:14-17, Eph 4:31, Phil 2:3)
2. Blowing up and getting into loud shouting matches. (see pg.10)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/temperancemaster-130513173332-phpapp01/85/Temperance-11-320.jpg)
