ANGER: "Angry Words." "The Punch." Dash cam. Diplomacy.

Citizen of Heaven

Ephesians 4:26 reads, “Be angry, and yet do not sin.” I fear sometimes we effectively leave off the second half of that sentence. The fact is, giving in to anger is just as bad as giving in to lust or envy. God’s words to Cain ring true for us: “You must master it.”

This week we will discuss choosing brotherly love over angry words; a single outburst that radically changed two lives; my unhealthy obsession with dash cam footage; and the board game most likely to lead to literal bloodshed.
