Failure In Anger - Answers for Successful Living on SuccessAndFailure

Failure In Anger - Robbing Your Success

The Bible doesn't say that should never be angry. Did you know that Jesus, the
perfect man, the Son of God, drove the greedy money changers out of the temple
(John 2:14-15). We are expected to be angry at oppression, injustice in the world, at
blatant cruelty - in other words, at sin.

The anger most of us feel is when we're being slighted, ignored, insulted? It's more
like pride and ego that lead to most of our anger? This kind of anger the Bible does
warns us against.

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the
righteousness of God. James 1:19-20 (NKJV)

Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of
fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9 (NKJV)

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is
written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Therefore "If your
enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing
you will heap coals of fire on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but
overcome evil with good. Romans 12:19-21 (NKJV)

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV)

knowledge. Proverbs 14:7 (NKJV)

Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go, Lest you learn his
ways And set a snare for your soul. Proverbs 22:24-25 (NKJV)

An angry man stirs up strife, And a furious man abounds in transgression.
Proverbs 29:22 (NKJV)

Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath. Proverbs 29:8 (NKJV)

the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But
whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. Matt 5:22 (NKJV)

"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, Eph 4:26 (NKJV)

renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, Col 3:8-10 (NKJV)
