Description
Battling Anger by the GRACE OF GOD!!
We all face anger... Apparently, the Early Church did, as well, since there are a lot of scriptures in the New Testament dealing about anger. UnGodly anger is not becoming of Christ Followers. In order to deal with anger in our lives, we MUST memorize and meditate on what God says about it in His Word. Are you up for the challenge?
I say "challenge" because God will test us in this!! In His loving care for us, He will put us in circumstances that will test our faith!! But thank Him for this, for He is changing us from glory to glory to be more like His Son, Jesus Christ! To His Glory!!!!
Also, considering starting a group to discuss the challenges with these verses! If anyone is interested, let me know.
