Wow! It must have been transformative then! I have gained ground but must be on guard. Anger can creep in so quickly like a torrent. 😢I have not yet conquered, but I can say He has heard my cries for help in this area and has made me aware of triggers. I have a choice in how I react.

[@Psalm146-2]

Anger stems from: 1) Disappointment 2) Failure to achieve goals 3) Pain or hurt (physical or emotional) Solution: Discipline to calmly look at what’s behind or underneath the anger Two types of anger: 1) Misdirected (releasing build up of anger) 2) Situational (eg accidents, traffic, etc) Solution: make sure anger is directed properly and proportionally

Great Sermon Mr Sproul as I have deal with Anger throughout my life!I Try to stay in James 1 Chapter Verse 19:Be swift to hear,slow to speak, slow to wrath!God bless you all!❤

RC Sproul. I miss him!😢 I remember listening to this teaching in the radio 📻 years ago, is a matter of fact, I have it on tape cassette. The subject matter. I have wrestled with this emotion😠 😡👿😤 🗯 since childhood. Thankfully through Messiah I have been able to gain better control of it but not perfectly. It was on displsy recently but was quick to forgive and was forgiven. ❤❤

[@bmllz]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I really needed this today. God is teaching me how to deal with my anger and this helped a lot. Half way through this teaching I stopped and wrote this poem and figured I might as well share it with you: I wanted to be sweet, I wanted to be loving, I forgave her of her sins and held her in my arms, I kissed her and said, "I love you and I forgive you." She accepted my loving embrace and came to me with joy. But in the darkness of the night she turned her back on me; she again broke my commands and disobeyed my instruction; she said in her heart, "I will not listen, I will go my own way." In my anger I struck her, in my rage I brought wrath upon her. With the rod I struck her and with my foot I kicked her. I said, "I hate you!" The love I once had has now turned to anger and rage. I wept and cried, the love in my heart has turned to rage; the joy in my heart has turned to anger. I cried out to my God, "Save me from this darkness! My heart has turned black on account of her transgression, I cannot control myself; anger has become my master." In my tears He comforted me, in my lowly state He held me. He said, "Forgive her once more and you also will be forgiven; For just as she has transgressed your commands, so too have you transgressed my commands. Follow me and listen to my instruction and you will be made whole again; follow me and I will turn your darkness into light." (It's about one of my dogs)

ANGER keeps me warm on winter days when I don't wear a coat. It removes shyness as I can preach and talk about Jesus fearlessly. Anger removes the fear of physical death and pain and helps me to work out longer when I'm already tired. Lord thank you for covering my back when I blow it from time to time.

[@hzsofc]

This is very edifying

[@Liminalplace1]

One of his best talks.. I'd go even further and say we ought to eliminate anger with others. Jesus and the Father can handle being angry that we cannot. "Be angry and not sin" in that context cannot include anger with a brother as in the same passage we are told to put off all anger and wrath. I'd suggest it's better to direct anger at things or at evils, but not people. I think that's the wise advice of Dallas Willard and Sproul refered to wisdom....it's not a legalism

[@BornAgainOneHope]

Here are some things I get angry about: - People using ungodly speech/cursing - Playing music loud in public at gas stations or or on the road at stoplights Basically, unrestrained lawlessness/no boundaries in people’s behavior under the mantra “do what thou wilt”. Sometimes I feel like the distaste for it is Spirit-led. Am I wrong?

Pray and stay in the word Brother. That is my only answer I can give myself and anyone else who struggles with anything. I find the more I pray , read the word, watch God glorifying sermons , and read biblical books on theology... that it makes self control a lil easier . because when we fill our minds and hearts with more of Him , then we have less room for the things that don't glorify Him.

[@ohnobo14]

I try to not get angry with non believers and other religions when the historical, empirical, and true scientific data all points that the scripture has been right all along. But some of these folks are making it needlessly difficult.

[@Patricia22984]

I agree , sometimes it seems like they go way out of their way to make an argument against the God of the Bible just for argument sake… the Bible makes it clear that everyone knows the God of the Bible is real. I have no doubt this is true. But it is frustrating at times when they will say the craziest things to be true but argue that there is even a God. Like why is it so hard for you to accept the God of the Bible to be credible? 🤷🏻‍♀️ it seems some would rather believe that aliens are our “ god “ rather then believe the proof that is all around us.

[@ctribe100]

I hear petty excuses to be angry in this video. What if you had family member's that poisoned you, beat you, broke your bones, destroyed your health; all when you were a baby, toddler or child? I have to live with that physical and emotional pain every day... with NO reason why... why? Then, my mom tried to hurt her gandchildren. These are children! Like I was. I am hurt and angry and crippled because of ALL of it.

I was disappointed by this, I thought when it started it was going somewhere far more profound. Just ends up being some unoriginal generic overview of anger with very little practical steps as to 'how to deal with anger'. A complete waste of time.

[@Patricia22984]

I’m sorry that you feel that way brother , I pray you find what you are seeking in regards to how to deal with anger. I understand, we all go through different things in life and have different experiences with different people. Therefore our tolerance will be at different levels. I remember at one point in my life feeling the same when I would hear people talk about their experiences with “ not so difficult people “ that they thought were extremely difficult. I felt the same . I did however feel convicted and later repented based on the fact that I was given biblical ways to deal with anger and I felt it wasn’t good enough because I felt that I had bigger issues then them and my anger was past the point of their solutions. It is God who saves us , and as long as we have breath in our lungs , we have time to repent and pray for strength to endure till the end. I will pray for you Brother.
