Summary

Everyone struggles with anger - period! We struggle in different ways: some blow up, some spew, and some repress. So, is it really possible to keep anger from getting the best of us? Join Chip as he uncovers what causes our anger, and what we can do to keep it under control.

Introduction: James 1:19-20

A look at anger from God’s perspective:

Definition: Anger is neither good nor bad; it is a “charged,” morally neutral, emotional response of protective preservation.
Positively – It can be a healthy emotion that motivates us to correct attitudes, behaviors, or injustices that we perceive to be wrong. -Eph 4:26-27
Negatively – It can be an unhealthy and destructive emotional response to protect us from (real or perceived) hurt, frustration, or personal attack. -Pro. 19:19; 22:24; 29:22

Anger wears many masks: We EXPRESS our ANGER in such a wide variety of ways that many people assume anger is not an issue in their life.

Spewers: Anger is necessary – They’re exploding or calculating time bombs
Stuffers: Anger is wrong – They deny and avoid OR pretend and ignore
Leakers: Showing anger is wrong – They’re passive-aggressive

1:14.6	And I'm going to be pretty, I think the educational word is pedantic. I mean, I'm literally going to go through some lists where you see some things and nod,
1:18.6	and then I'm going to ask a few diagnostic questions where, you know, we're going to say,
1:23.6	okay, how do I tend to express my anger?
