Welcome [music] to the InTouch podcast with Charles Stanley for Monday, January 26th. [music] Are you angry? Ignoring or excusing this volatile emotion can be more dangerous than you realize. [music] Take a hard look at your life in part one of the danger of anger. >> How do you respond when you have feelings of anger? What causes you to be stirred up with anger the most? Is it somebody, some people, or is it some circumstance? Do you think that all of your anger is sin? And is it possible to be angry and not know it?

And so, what do you do with anger when you feel those angry feelings? Well, that’s what I want to talk about in this message entitled The Danger of anger. And I want you to turn, if you will, to Ephesians chapter 4. And Paul made some very strong statements in a very short moment in this fourth chapter beginning with verse 30 and through verse 32.

And I want us to use this as our basis today for this whole issue of the danger of anger. So beginning in verse 30 of the fourth chapter of Ephesians, here’s what Paul says. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you along with all malice.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Now, that’s a strong word about forgiveness and a strong word about anger. He says we’re just to put it away from us. Put it away. all wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you with all malice, being kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, and the probably the most two important words are just as God in Christ has forgiven us.
