Anatomy of the Soul 07: Anger Management

Anger is the emotional response to injustice and evil. It's an emotion designed by God to destroy obstacles to justice and provide the energy for bringing restorative justice. But handling anger can be like handling dynamite. You can use it to move mountains, but handled without due care, it will destroy you. Psalm 137 gives us a model for owning, praying, and limiting our anger that is shocking and scandalous, but if we take the time to listen, we'll find anger a manageable and powerful tool for justice and holiness.
