All of us get angry at someone or something. Should Christians be angry, and if so what type of anger is good anger? I will explore this topic by the teaching of my pastor at church. First, anger is going to happen, but you need to decide as Christian what is good or bad anger. The good anger, or righteousness anger as my pastor calls it, is something your are angry about because off your compassion toward a justice. The most prevalent choice of " righteous anger," is social justice. This anger stirs you to want to do something which is great in God's eyes. The bad anger is the anger that is done because of self-pride. That is a sin that should not be part of your daily life as a Christian. This anger is part of the Devil's pleasure. To accomplish this we need self-control. Self-Control in the sense that we do not fight back with someone or something, but resolve in the conflict in a peaceful matter. My pastor described, " a soft answer turns away wrath." Finally, never share a relationship with a hot-head. Hot-heads are like a snare our own soul. Remember with this thought that we can not change people, but only Christ. Proverbs is a great book to read each day to guide you in living the Christian life!
