Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday August 30th.

We've all felt the surge of fury wash over us at times,

but you don't have to let those emotions consume you.

Here's biblical help to gain victory over anger.

The most dangerous emotion of a mole is anger. Many emotions that we have but the most dangerous of all is anger.

And one of the things about anger is this. It's like a boomerang. You can throw it out there, but it is coming back.

Because people who are angry are not just angry at somebody at a distance without paying a price themselves.

That's just the very nature of it.

And oftentimes a person will say, well, this is the way God made me. No, God didn't make you angry.

Or somebody will say, well, you know, I just, I was born with a short fuse. You have to deal with your anger and excusing it and blaming it on somebody else

doesn't work. Anger is a trait you can pass on. From one generation to the next, I've seen it, I've heard it in

testimonies, I know it is absolutely true. And so therefore parents say well he'll

get over that, no he won't.

Because the kid loves his daddy, and his daddy is his hero.

And when his hero continually pushes him down

and pushes him away in anger.

He creates something within that little boy that is devastating to that boy and the same thing

of each little girl. People marry folks who are angry. They don't stop to look deep enough to realize that the person has angry spirit. So they get married thinking everything's going to be fine. It's not fine. It wasn't fine before they got married and you

know what if you think you're going to marry somebody to change them you need to stop and

think clearly and honestly. That's not the reason you marry people is to change

them.

So if they need some changing, let God fix them, then you marry them.
