Introduction: James 1:19-20

A look at anger from God’s perspective:

• Definition: Anger is neither good nor bad; it is a “charged,” morally neutral, emotional response of protective preservation.
• Positively – It can be a healthy emotion that motivates us to correct attitudes, behaviors, or injustices that we perceive to be wrong. -Eph 4:26-27
• Negatively – It can be an unhealthy and destructive emotional response to protect us from (real or perceived) hurt, frustration, or personal attack. -Pro. 19:19; 22:24; 29:22
