Scriptures About Anger

POSTED BY: Just Jim | COMMENTS: 0 Comments | DATE: October 30, 2013

Comentary:

As we can see it is to our advantage not to be angry. Anger gives Satan a foothold in our lives. In fact, most all anger comes from being offended. The simple act of being offended is a submission to Satan through a display of vanity and pride. When we are offended it is because our pride and feelings have been hurt. This wells up a lump in our throat and rises up anger within us. To allow it to fester is to allow Satan power over us.

Supporting Scriptures:
