14 Sep Understanding And Resolving Anger
Preacher Huijun - 29 October 2015
See Right, Invest Right
The Sermon on the Mount is to point us to our hearts - God wants to expose anything that distract us from entering true discipleship, so that you can be broken and restored in one heart and one eye for Christ. And one distraction (and a strong one) is money. A person who has the right spiritual perspective will also be one who invest correctly in real treasures, because having a heart that is right before God will empower a person to live it out through his outward expression of using his money wisely for the kingdom's purpose. Great is his rewards in heaven!

<Eph 4:26-27, 31-32> ESV
26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil (Or: Do not give the devil a foothold).…. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Be angry and do not sin <v26>
1) Intrinsically and inherently, anger in itself is not a sin.
2) Understand “Righteous Anger” – Can be a powerful force to put a stop to sinning.
3) Yet, our anger many a times lacks element of “righteousness”.
4) Individuals, Family and World are all terribly affected by anger
2. DO NOT let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold <v27>
1) Persistent/prolonged anger invites the devil to work.
2) Prolonged anger can open a way for the devil in our hearts to make his lies believable to us.
