How to Control Anger so it Doesn't Control You

Anger. Often, at the first signs of conflict, it begins to bubble within us. We think, “How could they? Or This is not fair!” Sometimes, we are able to take a few deep breaths and push down our frustration. The problem comes when the conflict persists. The longer we must endure infuriating circumstances, the more our patience wanes. And when we are all out of patience, our red hot anger boils over and often burns those around us. Does the Bible give us a better way to handle anger than to push it down until we explode? Yes, it does.

In today’s episode, we are talking about how the gospel speaks to our anger and shows how to handle it in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. Anger in itself is not a sin, but it can so easily lead to sin. Thankfully, God has given us His Word to speak to even the deepest anger that we feel.
