Eph 4:25-27

Therefore,
laying aside falsehood,
SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR,
for we are members of one another.

BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN;
do not let the sun go down on your anger,

and do not give the devil an opportunity.

We are to:
Lay aside falsehood.
Speak Truth to OneAnother.
Be angry, yet not with sin.
Not allow the sun to go down on our anger.
Not give the devil an opportunity.

Oh yeah, we like that “angry” thing.
Too often we treat it as permission to be mad/angry/etc.
Nope.

Listen to what else the Word says…

Psa 4:4
Tremble (with anger or fear), and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still.
Selah.

Psa 37:8
Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.

Pro 14:29
He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

 Pro 19:11
A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger,
And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.

Ecc 7:9
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.

Mat 5:22
“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

Mar 3:5
After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

Jhn 2:15
And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

There is much more.

Jesus experienced anger, yet He did not sin.

We can experience anger, yet not sin.
Do not let the sun go down on your anger…do not “play” with it in your thoughts.

Why?

Because such behavior opens the door for the enemy…
