ANGER & ANGRY WORDS

ANGER & ANGRY WORDS by Eld. Joe Holder

Under the command to love one another angry words, anger in the heart, is exactly what Jesus called it in the sermon on the mount. It is the equivalent of ethical murder. You are killing someone with hateful and angry words. Does it bother anyone that we try to rationalize or justify conduct that in scripture is more characteristic of a evil, unsaved person than of the righteous? It can’t be rationalized - it’s wrong. It’s the enemy crouching, ready to pounce and it has us on it’s mind for dinner and we’re sitting there saying, "oh, I’m just anxious to have dinner with you." You don’t understand - you’re going to be the dinner. You’re not going to have dinner with this emotion, it’s going to have YOU - it’s going to serve YOU up on the platter.
