A Calm and Biblical View of Anger

Honestly, I think this is some pretty basic stuff that many believers have ignored.
Surveying some Bible passages on the topic of anger and how we ought to handle it. Specifically, we are told not to bottle it up and not to let it out. But if that's the case, how are Christians supposed to deal with anger? The biblical answer is to "put it off".

I don't know how to thank you Brother Mike for this amazing sermon. I struggle with anger and as a born again christian it always leaves me feeling defeated and guilty. I'm almost in tears writing this. You tackled all the issues i had in a way that i didn't expect. May God bless you and your family. I hope i can share this message effectively with my mum who's English isn't as good as mine. Oh before i forget, when you said you used to struggle with anger too i was so shocked cause of your calm spirit which i admire so much already. It gave a new hope of Christ's transformative power. i want to also look more like Christ and less like my past self. God Bless

This was amazing and I needed this. I'm a new Christian and anger is my weakness.

I’ve recently started weening myself off of an anxiety medication and I Now get frustrated and angry very quickly and I HATE IT. I’ve been praying but it’s not going away. It’s a battle to say the least and I must get it dealt with because it’s impacting my walk with Jesus

[CC-eebj]

This was a very challenging message for me, it made me aware of how I so often either overlook the sinfulness of my anger or try to justify it. You've given me plenty of Proverbs to meditate on, thank you Pastor Mike and may The Lord continue to bless your ministry.

Thank you for speaking the Word of truth and giving it to me. I’ve been angry since 2 years old. 50’s now and certainly need to be humbled to seek the Lord about my stubborn proud angry resentful bitter malicious wrathful heart. O God help

[jgonzo]

Mike, i just recently found jesus, while your apologetics got me to think deeper and brought me from agnostisism to christianity, your ministry and teaching of the gospel is changing my life in amazing ways. You are incredible thank you so much for what you do in the name of the Lord. I love you brother.

This applies to anxiety too I think. Thank you so much for what you do Mike. The gentleness you speak with is good, I grew up with an abusive father so sometimes when men speak harshly or simply emphatically I feel fear and anger. I want to run away or I assume they are wrong because I am afraid, and I have to fight those assumptions. Watching sermons was difficult for a very long time. It still is sometimes with the loud ones. I have never had this problem with yours. Thank you.

You just showed me what’s going on with me, I’m filled with malice! Ohh Jesus I commit myself to you make me more like you take my malice and fill me with the love you have for ALL people. Fill me with your Holy Spirit!

49:00 this is why I keep listening. Even if in one while video, one nugget unseats an old bad theology I was taught, it helps me reestablish biblical truth rather than how I was raised. In “forgive and forget” I was certainly taught you can’t bring it up, can’t “remember it”. Of course that’s practically impossible, but it also creates a great difficulty to get out of abusive situations because then you can’t identify unhealthy and dangerous patterns. I think “forgiveness” had been defined to me, bit by bit, as dismissing and forgetting, no repentance required. That’s not even Gods standard of forgiveness, how could He require it to be ours? Now, in Christ, I can not respond from anger, I can not hold a grudge, but I can also say “because of these repeated, consistent, unrepentant behaviors, I have to let X person out of my life for my health and protection of those around me. (Or many other applications, like actually holding ministers or false prophets accountable.)

This was so helpful. I didn't realize I had "anger issues" but my very strained issue with one of my parents has really shown me my heart. I have repented and prayed for God to guide me to please Him with how I manage my emotions. I will definitely be meditating on these scriptures. The Word of God has ALL the answers! And you're right, Mike, the calling is HIGH when it comes to self-control.

Running into this video was an answer to my prayers. I bottle it all up and didn't even realize it was malice. For the last few years, I have been praying and praying about anger toward some people. I had been praying for these people a little bit here and there, but it didn't occur to me to pray for them every time I felt anger. Since hearing this video, I've been praying for these people whenever I feel anger or hard feelings arise. It's truly helping and is the answer to my prayers. I'm so grateful for the wisdom in this video. Thank you!

[trishwragg]

God is using you in an amazing way. Your honest and sincere relationship with the Lord is evident and very refreshing. May you stay strong and continue your race with perseverance. Thank you for your strong biblically based answers to some tricky teachings. I am driven to live for Christ and to be pleasing to Him and your teaching has helped me see where I have glazed over some life issues that are indeed important

[StephenJoseph]

That definition of malice convicted my heart. I will be praying to see everyone the same and not have my view skewed.

[metzdupcounselor]

Thanks for not just saying "don't, don't, don't"... you encourage people to acknowledge, slow down, pray. We can take heart and take action!

[tammywisecup]

This teaching is an answer to my recent prayers
Thank you, i am trying to handle my anger better
And im a long time Christian

I JUST WANTED TO TELL U HOW MUCH I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS. SUCH A JOYFUL THING TO SEE A TRUE BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIAN. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP IT UP. YOU ARE REFRESHING.

[sarahfaith]

I've watched this honestly at least 5 more times after the live stream. This is probably my favorite of all your videos I've watched because of how helpful it was in my personal walk with the Lord. My anger was really affecting me and I signed up for a few online Christian counseling sessions hoping that would help, but she (counselor) never brought up the Bible at all and just told me I need to make time to relax after work and I'll be less angry. It didn't help at all. I found real, biblical help in this video- and it gave me hope that I can change with God's help. I soo wish you did online counseling!! I can't thank you enough for doing this topic, at just the right time. It's already helped me so much.

I needed to hear this 🙏
God bless you.

2021 and this video is still touching lives. Thank you for staying obedient and allowing Holy Spirit to work through you.

Made a huge error yesterday and because of my anger almost threw away a company I’ve built for 20 years. Needed to hear this message like I need air. Ty Mike.
