Now here's Pastor Rick Warren with part two of a message called How to Earn the Respect of Others.

When Nehemiah heard these people say we're angry about these four things.

Nehemiah goes, well I understand it, it makes me angry too. I understand why you're angry.

It upsets me also.

Now I know some of you think what Rick isn't angry at sin, but what is it?

It upsets me also. Now I know some of you think what Rick isn't angry at sin, no not always.

Sometimes anger is an expression of love.

If you hurt my wife or my children or my grandchildren and I didn't get angry, if I was apathetic it means I didn't love.

You know in scripture God distinguishes between what's called righteous anger and unrighteous anger.

Good anger, bad anger, anger that is a good force and anger that is a bad force.

If anger is a sin, well why does the Bible say God gets angry and God can't sin.

In fact Ephesians 426 says this, be angry and yet do not sin.

There's a way to be angry and not sin and there's a way to be angry and it's sinful.
