Getting a Handle on Anger in Difficult Times - Deborah Pegues

[@SOLDbyNat]

I enjoyed this and I truly appreciate that it wasn't a 1-sided discussion. Thank you for touching on the current topics. I ordered her book!

Have to disagree with people shouldn't say all lives matter

[@thelordismyshepherd1366]

On the issue of race, I think we all have to check our hearts. Race issues are not limited to black and white. All races look down on each other. As Christians we have the responsibility to first acknowledge it is a heart issue. Now, let’s deal with it.

[@skinnycookscantbeatrusted7788]

Please don't speak for all races. Speak for yourself. That's the only opinion you can account for.

[@thelordismyshepherd1366]

@@skinnycookscantbeatrusted7788 Bottom line is that racism is a sin issue. Sin does not discriminate. So yes I can speak for all of mankind as the Bible does. Although I will acknowledge that the degree of hatred is different and experience of it is different for all. I cannot comment on the actual experience of any one race. But we have all fallen short in this area at one point or another.

[@skinnycookscantbeatrusted7788]

@@thelordismyshepherd1366 If racism is happening of course its a sin, I will agree with you on that. However, as many times as I have personally experienced racism against me, is that also a sin? Why are we only calling one race's racism? Have we not been taught to forgive as Christ forgave us? Why is the entire country being raked through the coals for individual sin issues? How many more people will die for the sake of blm? Disgusting!

Funny that for the first time listening to Focus on the family and none the less about Anger. I super struggled to not be angry at her “all lives matter” statement! I’m so sick of all of this!

[@lark8356]

I enjoyed her candor about the founding fathers and Abraham Lincoln. They were flawed on the issue of racial equality.

[@rosarioortiz93]

Much needed conversation, thank you for having her on

[@fed8397]

Amen!

[@kathyeanes7076]

Did she say ‘blah blah blah blah’ when trying to quote the Declaration of Independence? I was stunned when I heard that. If you won’t believe that the one country that put an end to an age old tradition is the best country on the planet and take so lightly the founding fathers who wrote that brilliant document to begin it all, you might never be satisfied. Disappointed in Focus on the Family for this one.

Actually the US one of the last nations to abolish slavery.

[@UkPome]

@@thelordismyshepherd1366 I didn’t see many other countries having a civil war to end slavery.

[@godblessamerica2323]

Very much agree with you

Do I know the complete Declaration of 'so-called Independence'? Nope, do you? 😏

If everytime you get angry at someone who "looks different" than you, and your assumption is that they have racist intent, then you have a problem. I am very disappointed in Focus On The Family for allowing one of their guests to repeatedly exhibit behavior antithetical to scripture.

[@godblessamerica2323]

EXACTLY! I completely agree with you. You’re the racist not me! She said her mission is bigger than politics but clearly if you support BLM then all you care about is race. I’m so sick of it. ALL LIVE MATTER! ALL LIVE MATTER! There isn’t a right that blacks don’t have in this country anymore. Apparently thought, if a crime is committed against you and your black, you can call it racism and make millions. Not to mention there were about 500,000 Union soldiers that died to end slavery, most of them white.

[@SaltyVato]

I’ve always enjoyed listening to Deborah when she’s on FOCUS, but after the all lives (don’t) matter statement......I’m surprised and disappointed such a great woman of faith could fall into this fake narrative pushed by people of no faith. Jesus loves all.

[@skinnycookscantbeatrusted7788]

I totally agree. I'm disgusted.

[@godblessamerica2323]

Yes I’m disgusted

[@jcalvioficial]

Notice only non-people of color have issues with this

[@graceperiod5352]

How exactly do you tame a snake?? Is that even possible. In Jesus name you don't tame it you behead it period! Rather ask the Lord to replace it with his love and compassion! This that not mean you don't get angry but it means it has no hold of you any longer!

[@jcalvioficial]

?which snake? What
