Why Are You So Angry?
Proverbs Study on the Topic of Anger
James Long, Jr.
Message Exposition
People handle anger by:
1. Stuffing their Anger
2. Spewing their Anger.
Anger can be sinful and evil. However, anger can also be good.
Proverbs on Anger (Proverbs 12:16; 14:16-17, 29, 35; 15:1, 18; 16:32; 18:1; 19:3, 11, 19, 21:14; 22:24-25; 29:8-10, 22; 30:33).
What do we learn from those passages?
Sinful Anger
• We can act foolishly
• We are destructive
• We do not listen
Principles to Consider
• Anger is deceptive
• Anger is deep
• Anger is destructive
• Anger is like a disease
• Anger comes from our dual nature
• Anger is something you do
• Anger is about desires (I want my way).
Anger defined – from “Uprooting Anger” by Robert Jones
• OUR ANGER IS OUR WHOLE-PERSONED ACTIVE RESPONSE OF NEGATIVE MORAL JUDGMENT AGAINST PERCEIVED EVIL.
How to manage your anger in godly ways:
READ Yourself Accurately
• Recognize your emotions
• Evaluate their source
• Anticipate the consequences of following them
• Direct them in a godly way and on a constructive course
Be Gospel Saturated and Gospel-Centered – adapted from “Good and Angry” by David Powlison
• God’s Anger Falls on Jesus - In Christ, you are forgiven
• God’s Anger Disarms the Power of Sin - In Christ, you are freed
• God’s Anger Delivers Us from the Pain of Others’ Sins
• God’s Anger Protects Us from Ourselves
