OUT OF CONTROL. . . . . Matthew 5:21-22 Killing is a
terrible sin, but anger is a great
sin too because it also violates God’s command to love. Anger in this case refers to a seething,
brooding bitterness against someone. It
is a dangerous emotion that always threatens to leap out of control and lead to
violence, emotional hurt, increased mental stress, and other destructive
results. There is spiritual damage as
well. Anger keeps us from developing a
spirit pleasing to God. Have you ever
been proud that you didn’t strike out and say what was really on your
mind? Self-control is good, but Christ
wants us to practice thought-control as well.
Jesus said we will be held accountable even for our attitudes.
