All of us get angry at times. Feeling angry is not a sin. It's about how we handle our anger. Our scripture reading this week (Ephesians 4:17-32) reminds us that we are called to leave old ways behind and to take on our spiritual nature.
Getting angry and going off on people, being vindictive, shutting down, and attacking are old ways. Getting angry and speaking the truth in love is a better way, as is holding one's tongue. Not all anger needs to be expressed.
Join us in our Lenten Prayer: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Psalm 139:23-24 NLT. And join us Sunday at 10:45am as we learn, or are reminded about being angry and sinning not. If you know any angry birds, be sure to invite them to join you!
Rev Sandy, Pastor
