James 1:20- “Man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.”
For over a week, all of our news channels have shown videos of destruction and carnage. Friday morning’s news show displayed a headline from the Middle East, calling for a “Global Day of Anger.”
To put out a call for people to feel—and act on—anger is unbelievable.
What does Christ have to say about anger and its effects on us and our world?
James tells us that being angry is not the life God wants for us. Anger leads to guilt and shame.
But, is there a place in our world for what is called “Righteous Anger”? Righteous anger arises when we witness “an offense against God or His Word.”
It is different than what we commonly think of as anger in that it comes from a heart that cares for others.
Righteous anger hopes to make the world a better place … and to bring people to salvation in Christ. It is not destructive, downgrading, or hurtful.
It speaks of the Truth of God’s Word.
