Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, The Book of Ephesians.

When we look at the book of Ephesians, Paul's words are foundational for every believer.

They help us to understand who we are in Christ, how much he loves us, and how we can grow a stronger,

more intimate relationship with God.

So today, let's go deeper in God's word.

Listen as Joyce walks through Ephesians chapter by chapter, showing us how we can apply its

truths to our lives.

Now, here's Joyce with today's series on the book of Ephesians.

Ephesians chapter 4 4 verses 26 and 27.

When you're angry, do not sin.

Please notice it doesn't say never get angry.

It's not the feeling of anger that's sin.

It's what we do with that feeling after we feel it.

If somebody comes and is rude to you, the first thing you're probably going to feel is anger.

Well, before Christ, or actually I was already saved, but before I knew the importance of really

obeying God if I felt like being angry and shutting somebody

out of my life and telling them off, that's exactly what I did.

But people who are going to go all the way with God, listen to me, you don't have the privilege

of doing what you feel like doing.

That's not an option for us.

The world can do that.
