Let s look now at anger. Anger can range from icy hate to boiling rage. Anger should, then, be one of our best understood, most carefully managed, and most effectively channeled emotions. It is much too powerful to be overlooked, much too dangerous to be ignored. The first step in resolving anger is to admit that anger, in and of itself, is not sin.
Anger is an emotion, and like all emotions, neither right nor wrong.
It s what we do with it that eventually receives such a label. Paul confirms this when he instructs that we be angry and sin not. Some counselors have failed to help their patients with the problem of anger because they do not accept that anger is a normal emotion. The fact is that God gave us the ability to feel anger. Therefore, we must realize that there are constructive, God-called uses for it.
