Today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

How long your anger lasts reveals whether it's selfish anger or if it's loving anger

concerned with the other person.

If it's loving anger, you're confronting the wrong and committing it to God and trusting him

to take care of you and defend you.

If it is selfish anger, then you're going to mull over it and the sun is going to go down

in your wrath and it's going to stay with you not for a night it's going to stay with you maybe for years.

Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor J.D. Greer. As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitovich.

We're so glad that you're back with us today as we conclude a timely and important message we began yesterday on the program.

You know, we live in an angry society. Just turn on the evening news or any number of talk shows.

The issues change by the day, but the anger doesn't. People seem cued up and ready

to explode at any moment, in a classroom, at work, on social media, on the freeway. So was anger wrong?

If so, how do we do it right? Let's rejoin Pastor Jady as he points out how we can be angry,

but in the same way Jesus was angry.

A very important distinction. Here's Pastor J.D.

You see, I know for that person that wronged me, one of two things is true.

Either their wrong toward me is going to be paid for by the death of Jesus Christ and the cross,

where all my wrongs were paid for, or this person is going to pay for those things they did to me

eternally in hell.

Either way, I don't have to carry around the bitterness that comes from feeling like they're just

going to get away with it, and my score will never be settled, and my cause will never be taken

up.
