Anger

Let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. James 1: 19-20

"It's unhealthy for others when you respond emotionally by thoughtlessly telling everybody exactly how you feel. You may feel better after such an outburst, but in the process you destroy your family or friends. Paul said, "Be angry, and yet do not sin" (Ephesians 4: 26). Express yourself in a gracious way that won't hurt others."

Neil T. Anderson, Freedom in Christ.
