Only speak words that make souls stronger. Ann Voskamp
A gentle answer turns away wrath...” Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)
“Be angry and do not sin.” Ephesians 4:26a (ESV)
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23a (ESV)
1. AN UNEXPECTED EMOTION: ANGER
•RAGING ANGER ATTACKS PEOPLE
•RIGHTEOUS ANGER – ATTACKS PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY

"Christianity thinks that God made the world and it also thinks that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that God made. And that God insists and insists very loudly on our putting them right again….If you read history, you will find that those who did the most for this present world are the ones who thought the most of the next world." CS Lewis
The more heavenly minded we are the more earthly good we're going to be.
