Anger Is Not Always A Sin

 Anger Is Not Always A Sin and not all anger is wrong, and there are times when Christians should express righteous anger in a way that honors the Lord. But when any sort of anger is not addressed biblically, the enemy can turn righteous anger into a sin or escalate fleshly anger into a greater offence, which is why Paul continues with the directive: "Do not let the sun go down on your anger." We are to address ALL anger issues, quickly.
 How important to keep a tight rein on every form of anger. Fleshly anger should be renounced before it has an opportunity to develop. As soon as an angry, jealous, vindictive, vengeful thought is conceived in the mind, it should be taken captive and given to Christ so that it is not allowed to produce the fruit of unrighteousness, while righteous anger should not be permitted to develop into some sort of self-righteous attitude, which also gives the enemy a foothold in our life.
 May we learn to recognize the difference between true righteous anger and ungodly fleshly anger that causes us to sin. Keep short accounts' when dealing with anger and be ready to address issues immediately so that we honor the Lord in thought, word, deed, motive, and emotions.
“In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Paul's simple, but important teaching on anger issues. We pray that we may be ready and willing to express anger against sin and the things that grieve Your heart, in a godly and righteous way that honors Your name. May we also recognize any fleshly emotions which motivate us toward unrighteous anger. May we never give the enemy a foothold in our lives, either directly, through fleshly anger, or indirectly, by allowing legitimate, righteous anger to deteriorate into a self-righteous attitude. Give us wisdom, we pray, and a discerning heart to know when to be angry without sinning so that the testimony we present may be for Your honor and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
