00:00:07.20\00:00:14.18
PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR: JESUS
SAID, 'I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER IS
00:00:14.28\00:00:16.51
ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A
CAUSE, SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE
00:00:16.54\00:00:20.18
JUDGMENT.' NOW DON'T MISS THAT
JESUS SAID 'WITHOUT A CAUSE' -
00:00:20.22\00:00:24.45
MEANING THERE MAY BE A
TIME WHEN ANGER IS APPROPRIATE.
00:00:24.49\00:00:30.99
I HOPE YOU ARE ALL IN A GOOD
MOOD BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TALK
00:00:32.59\00:00:35.60
ABOUT ANGER; AND IF
YOU'RE ALREADY ANGRY THIS MAY GO
00:00:35.63\00:00:40.17
THE WRONG WAY.
00:00:40.20\00:00:42.30
THE MESSAGE TITLE TODAY IS
00:00:42.34\00:00:44.97
DEALING WITH, WHAT MAY
SOUND LIKE AN OXYMORON,
00:00:45.01\00:00:47.64
THE ANGRY CHRISTIAN.
YOU KNOW, BACK IN MARCH THIS
00:00:47.68\00:00:51.85
YEAR, THERE WAS A PLANE
THAT WAS TRAVELING FROM LAS
00:00:51.88\00:00:55.65
VEGAS TO HAWAII.
SOMETIME SHORTLY AFTER THEY
00:00:55.68\00:00:59.45
FINALLY PASSED OVER THE PACIFIC
OCEAN, ONE OF THE PASSENGERS
00:00:59.49\00:01:04.89
BECAME VERY AGITATED BECAUSE
THEY ASKED FOR A BLANKET - I
00:01:04.93\00:01:09.93
GUESS THE PLANE WAS COLD - AND
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT SAID IT WAS
00:01:09.96\00:01:14.24
TWELVE DOLLARS FOR ONE OF THEIR
BLANKETS. AND HE SAID, 'THAT'S
00:01:14.27\00:01:19.41
NOT REASONABLE.' HE SAID,
'YOU'RE THE ONES MAKING THE
00:01:19.44\00:01:22.18
PLANE COLD.' THEY SAID, 'WE'RE
SORRY, THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS
00:01:22.21\00:01:25.25
FOR ONE OF THE BLANKETS.'
AND IT TURNED INTO QUITE A STIR.
00:01:25.28\00:01:32.19
AT ONE POINT THEN, THE
66-YEAR-OLD MAN THREATENED TO
00:01:32.22\00:01:35.39
TAKE THE FLIGHT
ATTENDANT OUT TO THE WOODSHED.
00:01:35.42\00:01:39.23
THEY WEREN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT
THAT MEANT, BUT THEY TOOK IT AS
00:01:39.26\00:01:41.56
A THREAT AND THEY WERE AFRAID -
'YOU KNOW, IF THIS FELLA'S GOT A
00:01:41.60\00:01:45.23
TEMPER AND WE GET OUT OVER THE
MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN, WHO
00:01:45.27\00:01:50.44
KNOWS WHAT COULD
HAPPEN AT THAT POINT?'
00:01:50.47\00:01:53.01
SO THEY TURNED BACK AND
THEY SCHEDULED - THEY MADE AN
00:01:53.04\00:01:56.18
UNSCHEDULED LANDING THERE AT LAX
- LOS ANGELES - AND EVERYBODY
00:01:56.21\00:02:01.05
WAS DELAYED FOR HOURS.
THEY ESCORTED THE MAN OFF THE
00:02:01.08\00:02:04.65
PLANE - PROBABLY
WRECKED HIS HAWAII VACATION.
00:02:04.69\00:02:10.13
SOMEBODY COMMENTED LATER,
THEY SAID, 'IT COST THE AIRLINE
00:02:10.16\00:02:14.20
$12,000.00 TO MAKE THAT
UNSCHEDULED LANDING BECAUSE OF A
00:02:14.23\00:02:19.07
DISPUTE OVER A $12.00 BLANKET.
ANGER IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE.
00:02:19.10\00:02:25.91
YOU READ FIRST IN THE BIBLE
WHERE CAIN BECAME ANGRY WITH HIS
00:02:25.94\00:02:29.84
BROTHER AND GOD ASKED
CAIN, 'WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?'
00:02:29.88\00:02:34.18
IF THERE'S SIN AT THE DOOR,
YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT.
00:02:34.22\00:02:37.89
THAT ANGER IN THE HEART OF CAIN
LED HIM TO KILL HIS BROTHER.
00:02:37.92\00:02:43.19
THE BIBLE TELLS US JESUS SAID,
'I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER IS ANGRY
00:02:43.22\00:02:46.83
WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A
CAUSE, SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE
00:02:46.86\00:02:50.27
JUDGMENT.' NOW DON'T MISS THAT
JESUS SAID, 'WITHOUT A CAUSE' -
00:02:50.30\00:02:54.47
MEANING THERE MAY BE A
TIME WHEN ANGER IS APPROPRIATE.
00:02:54.50\00:02:59.14
1 JOHN 3:12, "NOT AS CAIN
WHO WAS OF THE WICKED ONE AND
00:02:59.17\00:03:03.95
MURDERED HIS BROTHER.
AND WHY DID HE MURDER HIM?
00:03:03.98\00:03:07.52
BECAUSE HIS WORKS WERE EVIL
AND HIS BROTHER'S RIGHTEOUS."
00:03:07.55\00:03:10.69
SO THAT'S THE ANSWER WHY SOME
PEOPLE BECOME ANGRY, IS BECAUSE
00:03:10.72\00:03:13.05
THEY'RE WRONG. I THINK
IT WAS CHARLES DE GAULLE
00:03:13.09\00:03:16.49
WHO SAID, 'WHEN
I'M RIGHT I GET ANGRY.
00:03:16.52\00:03:20.06
WINSTON CHURCHILL, ON THE OTHER
HAND, 'WHEN HE'S WRONG HE GETS
00:03:20.10\00:03:23.10
ANGRY. SO WE
OFTEN ARGUE WITH EACH
00:03:23.13\00:03:25.10
OTHER BECAUSE I'M
RIGHT AND HE'S WRONG.'
00:03:25.13\00:03:28.40
WHAT DE GAULLE
SAID. BUT IT'S TRUE.
00:03:28.44\00:03:31.77
SOMETIMES WE BECOME
ANGRY BECAUSE SOMEONE'S RIGHT.
00:03:31.81\00:03:34.71
1 JOHN 3:15, "WHOEVER HATES HIS
BROTHER IS A MURDERER, AND YOU
00:03:34.74\00:03:38.55
KNOW THAT NO MURDERER HAS
ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN HIM."
00:03:38.58\00:03:41.68
WELL, MAYBE BEFORE WE GO ANY
FARTHER, IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA
00:03:41.72\00:03:44.05
TO JUST - LET'S LOOK AT A SIMPLE
DEFINITION - WHAT IS ANGER?
00:03:44.09\00:03:47.76
ANGER, A NOUN, 'A STRONG FEELING
OF DISPLEASURE, BELLIGERENCE,
00:03:47.79\00:03:52.49
HOSTILITY, OR WRATH AROUSED BY
SOME REAL OR PERCEIVED WRONG.'
00:03:52.53\00:03:58.03
THAT'S ANGER. NOW,
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED
00:03:58.07\00:04:01.70
THAT THERE IS GOOD ANGER.
ROMANS 1:18, "FOR THE WRATH OF
00:04:01.74\00:04:07.41
GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN
AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND
00:04:07.44\00:04:11.35
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF
MEN, WHO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH
00:04:11.38\00:04:14.35
IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." SO
DOES GOD EVER GET ANGRY?
00:04:14.38\00:04:18.99
SEE, WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD AND THERE IS A PASSION -
00:04:19.02\00:04:22.09
THERE IS A RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
- THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE
00:04:22.12\00:04:26.86
EMOTION OF ANGER THAT WE SHOULD
ALL HAVE INSIDE TOWARDS THE
00:04:26.90\00:04:32.70
JUST PURPOSES. JESUS GOT ANGRY.
00:04:32.73\00:04:39.44
MARK 3:1, "AND WHEN HE
HAD LOOKED AROUND AT THEM WITH
00:04:39.47\00:04:43.21
ANGER," - CAN'T BE MISUNDERSTOOD
- "BEING GRIEVED BY THE HARDNESS
00:04:43.24\00:04:46.98
OF THEIR HEARTS." -
THEY WERE MAD THAT HE WAS
00:04:47.02\00:04:49.75
GOING TO HEAL THIS MAN. HE
SAID TO THE MAN, 'STRETCH OUT
00:04:49.78\00:04:52.59
YOUR HAND.' HE STRETCHED
IT OUT AND HE WAS RESTORED.
00:04:52.62\00:04:56.32
HE BECAME ANGRY AT
THEIR COLD HEARTEDNESS.
00:04:56.36\00:05:03.03
MOSES BECAME ANGRY -
EXODUS 32:19 - HE CAME DOWN THE
00:05:03.06\00:05:06.27
MOUNTAIN AFTER GETTING THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS AND, OF COURSE,
00:05:06.30\00:05:09.87
THERE, AGAIN,
YOU'VE GOT THE LAW.
00:05:09.90\00:05:11.24
THE DEVIL WAS MAD AT THAT
SO HE TEMPTED EVERYBODY TO SIN.
00:05:11.27\00:05:13.88
"...HE SAW THE CALF AND THE
DANCING. SO MOSES' ANGER BECAME
00:05:13.91\00:05:18.21
HOT," - WAS THAT
THE RIGHT KIND OF ANGER?
00:05:18.25\00:05:22.65
HE WAS JUST SO OUTRAGED
THAT AFTER THEY JUST MADE THIS
00:05:22.68\00:05:26.52
COVENANT WITH GOD, MOSES HAS THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS STILL RADIATING
00:05:26.55\00:05:29.82
IN HIS HANDS WITH THE WRITING OF
THE HAND OF GOD AND HE GOES TO
00:05:29.86\00:05:33.03
THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE
BREAKING ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:05:33.06\00:05:36.06
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A TIME
FOR RIGHTEOUS JUSTIFIED ANGER.
00:05:36.10\00:05:40.64
THE EARLY CHURCH FATHER JOHN
CHRYSOSTOM SAID, 'HE WHO IS NOT
00:05:40.67\00:05:44.87
ANGRY WHEN HE HAS CAUSE TO BE
SINS. FOR UNREASONABLE PATIENCE
00:05:44.91\00:05:51.78
IS THE HOTBED OF MANY VICES.'
IN OTHER WORDS, NOT BEING ANGRY
00:05:51.81\00:05:56.18
WHEN YOU SHOULD BE ANGRY CAN
BE A SIN BECAUSE IT CAN BE AN
00:05:56.22\00:06:00.22
INDIFFERENCE - IT CAN BE A
LUKEWARMNESS THAT YOU'RE NOT
00:06:00.26\00:06:03.43
OUTRAGED BY SOMETHING
THAT SHOULD BE A PROBLEM.
00:06:03.46\00:06:08.66
MARK 11:15, "SO
THEY CAME TO JERUSALEM.
00:06:08.70\00:06:12.43
THEN JESUS WENT INTO THE TEMPLE
AND BEGAN TO DRIVE OUT THOSE WHO
00:06:12.47\00:06:15.97
BOUGHT AND SOLD IN THE TEMPLE,
AND OVERTURNED THE TABLES OF THE
00:06:16.00\00:06:19.31
MONEY CHANGERS AND THE
SEATS OF THOSE WHO SOLD DOVES."
00:06:19.34\00:06:22.68
AND HE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO
CARRY WARES THROUGH THE TEMPLE
00:06:22.71\00:06:25.91
AND HE SAID, 'YOU'VE MADE
MY FATHER'S HOUSE A DEN OF
00:06:25.95\00:06:27.98
THIEVES.' NOW I DON'T KNOW IF
ANYONE WENT AS FAR AS NEHEMIAH
00:06:28.02\00:06:32.42
IN THE BIBLE, WITH THE CHURCH
AND, HOPEFULLY, THE PASTORS WILL
00:06:32.45\00:06:35.59
NOT EVER HAVE TO RESORT TO THIS,
BUT NEHEMIAH SAYS, "I CONTENDED
00:06:35.62\00:06:39.33
WITH THEM AND CURSED THEM AND
STRUCK SOME OF THEM AND PULLED
00:06:39.36\00:06:43.20
OUT THEIR HAIR AND MADE THEM
SWEAR BY GOD SAYING, 'YOU WILL
00:06:43.23\00:06:47.84
NOT GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS AS WIVES
TO THE SONS OF THE PAGANS, NOR
00:06:47.87\00:06:51.71
TAKE THEIR DAUGHTERS TO YOUR
SONS' NEHEMIAH SAID, 'THIS IS
00:06:51.74\00:06:55.11
HOW WE GOT CARRIED OFF TO
BABYLON IN THE FIRST PLACE AND
00:06:55.14\00:06:58.08
YOU'RE STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN.'
AND HE FLEW OFF THE HANDLE.
00:06:58.11\00:07:01.85
JOHN WESLEY, HE SAID, 'HE THAT
WOULD BE ANGRY AND SIN NOT MUST
00:07:01.88\00:07:07.39
NOT BE ANGRY WITH ANYTHING BUT
SIN.' SO THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER IS
00:07:07.42\00:07:13.66
THE ANGER AGAINST A SIN OF SOME
FORM. MARTIN LUTHER BECAME ANGRY
00:07:13.70\00:07:19.30
AT THE CHURCH'S ABUSE OF POWER.
HE SAID, 'WHEN I'M ANGRY, I CAN
00:07:19.33\00:07:22.80
WRITE, I CAN PRAY, I CAN
PREACH WELL. FOR THEN MY WHOLE
00:07:22.84\00:07:26.04
TEMPERAMENT IS QUICKENED, MY
UNDERSTANDING IS SHARPENED AND
00:07:26.07\00:07:29.08
THE MUNDANE VEXATIONS
AND TEMPERAMENTS DEPART.'
00:07:29.11\00:07:32.61
WHEN HE SAW THE OUTRAGEOUS
THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN
00:07:32.65\00:07:34.62
THE CHURCH, HE WAS ANIMATED
BY THIS RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.
00:07:34.65\00:07:38.35
AND, IF YOU'VE EVER READ ANY OF
LUTHER'S WRITINGS, YOU COULD SEE
00:07:38.39\00:07:40.82
THAT HE DID HAVE A PRETTY
ANIMATED NATURE, TO PUT IT
00:07:40.86\00:07:45.69
MILDLY.
ARISTOTLE PUT IT THIS WAY:
00:07:45.73\00:07:48.96
'ANYBODY CAN
BECOME ANGRY, THAT'S EASY.
00:07:49.00\00:07:51.13
BUT TO BE ANGRY WITH THE RIGHT
PERSON TO THE RIGHT DEGREE AT
00:07:51.17\00:07:54.57
THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RIGHT
PURPOSE IN THE RIGHT WAY, THAT
00:07:54.60\00:07:57.77
IS NOT WITHIN EVERYBODY'S POWER
AND IT IS NOT EASY.' AND A LOT
00:07:57.81\00:08:02.61
OF TIMES WE THINK THAT OUR
ANGER IS THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER
00:08:02.64\00:08:06.55
AND IT IS NOT.

00:08:39.35\00:08:41.72
PASTOR DOUG: WHAT CAUSES ANGER?
WELL, SOMETIMES, JEALOUSY.
00:08:44.02\00:08:50.06
SOMETIMES WE GET ANGRY
WHEN WE ARE BEING CHALLENGED.
00:08:50.09\00:08:52.99
PETER DENIED CHRIST AND, AFTER
SOMEONE ASKED HIM THE THIRD
00:08:53.03\00:08:56.46
TIME, AND HE KNEW HE WAS WRONG,
HE BEGAN TO SWEAR AND TO CURSE.
00:08:56.50\00:09:04.81
SOMEONE FEELS LIKE THEY'RE
UNAPPRECIATED THEY CAN BECOME
00:09:04.84\00:09:08.68
ANGRY. THAT'S OFTEN - SEVERAL OF
THESE REASONS I'M GIVING YOU ALL
00:09:08.71\00:09:12.31
KIND OF POINT BACK TO
SELFISHNESS AND PRIDE - WHEN OUR
00:09:12.35\00:09:15.18
PRIDE'S OFFENDED WE OFTEN
GET ANGRY - NEGLECT - POTIPHAR'S
00:09:15.22\00:09:20.09
WIFE BECAME ANGRY WHEN JOSEPH
WOULD NOT ACCEPT HER ADVANCES,
00:09:20.12\00:09:24.19
AND SHE WAS WILLING TO SEND HIM
TO JAIL. THEN THERE'S THOSE WHO
00:09:24.23\00:09:29.00
THE ANGER DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL AT
ONCE BUT IT COMES AS A RESULT OF
00:09:29.03\00:09:32.13
STORING THINGS. THEY JUST -
THEY'VE GOT THIS MINI STORAGE
00:09:32.17\00:09:37.41
AND SOME LITTLE
OFFENSE, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
00:09:37.44\00:09:39.97
THEY JUST LET IT GO, BUT THEY
REMEMBER IT AND THEY FILE IT AND
00:09:40.01\00:09:44.81
THEN SOMETHING ELSE
HAPPENS AND THEY FILE IT.
00:09:44.85\00:09:46.31
AND YOU'D NEVER KNOW, BUT
FINALLY THEY - IT'S LIKE YOU GET
00:09:46.35\00:09:49.75
FREQUENT FLIER MILES AND THEN
THEY SEND YOU ON A FREE TRIP
00:09:49.78\00:09:54.66
AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME.
YOU EVER MEET ANYONE LIKE THAT?
00:09:54.69\00:09:58.99
AND SOME PEOPLE, THINGS
HAPPEN AND YOU THINK, 'OH, THEY
00:09:59.03\00:10:00.96
SWALLOWED IT. IT'S
OKAY' BUT, NO, THEY DIDN'T.
00:10:01.00\00:10:03.93
AND THEY'LL
PROCESS IT WITH YOU LATER.
00:10:03.97\00:10:06.97
BUT PRIDE IS A BIG PROBLEM.
1 TIMOTHY 6:4, "HE IS PROUD
00:10:07.00\00:10:11.07
KNOWING NOTHING, BUT IS OBSESSED
WITH DISPUTES AND ARGUMENTS OVER
00:10:11.11\00:10:15.51
WORDS, FROM WHICH COME
ENVY, STRIFE, REVILING, EVIL
00:10:15.54\00:10:19.01
SUSPICIONS," - NOW
WHAT'S THE FALLOUT OF ANGER?
00:10:19.05\00:10:25.79
ANGER DESTROYS COMMUNICATION,
IT GENERATES FEAR, IT SCARS
00:10:25.82\00:10:29.39
RELATIONSHIPS AND, IF THE TRUTH
BE TOLD, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:10:29.42\00:10:32.63
THAT ARE LIVING WITH ANGER
THAT IS BURIED IN THEIR LIVES.
00:10:32.66\00:10:39.37
A LOT OF MARRIAGES HAVE
UNRESOLVED ANGER, AND SO,
00:10:39.40\00:10:44.37
BECAUSE THERE'S NO FORGIVENESS
BECAUSE OF SLIGHTS OR GRIEVANCES
00:10:44.41\00:10:47.71
OR PROBLEMS - AND THEY MIGHT BE
JUSTIFIED - AT ONE TIME IT MIGHT
00:10:47.74\00:10:51.28
HAVE BEEN A RIGHTEOUS
INDIGNATION - BUT YOU'VE NEVER
00:10:51.31\00:10:54.35
LET IT GO; YOU'VE NEVER
FORGIVEN, AND SO YOU CLING TO
00:10:54.38\00:10:56.58
THE ANGER. I'VE MET
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
00:10:56.62\00:10:58.32
ANGRY FOR YEARS
WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAD.
00:10:58.35\00:11:01.59
AND YOU THINK, 'BOY, THAT'S
REALLY SAD.' IT'S LIKE, IF I LET
00:11:01.62\00:11:05.49
GO OF THE ANGER - SOMEONE'S
GOT TO STAY ANGRY AT THEM.
00:11:05.53\00:11:10.10
THEY'RE DEAD.
THEY'RE IN THE GRAVE.
00:11:10.13\00:11:11.47
THEY DON'T KNOW IT. BUT THEY'RE
DESTROYING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR
00:11:11.50\00:11:15.77
ANGER. I READ ABOUT
HOW COSTLY ANGER IS.
00:11:15.80\00:11:21.91
THERE'S A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE
THAT MADE THE MISTAKE OF HITTING
00:11:21.94\00:11:24.95
HIS COACH AND HE LOST A
32 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT.
00:11:24.98\00:11:30.69
ANGER'S EXPENSIVE. SOME
OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN MIKE
00:11:30.72\00:11:32.92
TYSON GOT ANGRY DURING A BOXING
MATCH AND SO, INSTEAD OF JUST
00:11:32.95\00:11:37.33
BOXING WITH EVANDER HOLYFIELD,
HE BIT OFF A PIECE OF HIS EAR.
00:11:37.36\00:11:42.23
WELL, YOU REALIZE HE
LOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
00:11:42.26\00:11:44.63
I HOPE IT TASTED GOOD BECAUSE
THAT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MEAL
00:11:44.67\00:11:49.00
HE'D EVER BOUGHT -
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THAT.
00:11:49.04\00:11:54.38
AND, AGAIN, THAT FLIGHT I
JUST MENTIONED TO YOU OVER THE
00:11:54.41\00:11:56.78
[PACIFIC] -
$12,000.00 FOR A BLANKET.
00:11:56.81\00:12:00.82
YOU KNOW, IF I WAS ON THAT
PLANE, I WOULD HAVE SAID, 'LOOK,
00:12:00.85\00:12:02.55
I'LL PAY FOR YOUR
BLANKET. LET'S JUST KEEP GOING.
00:12:02.58\00:12:04.49
LET'S TAKE UP A COLLECTION.
HOW MANY WILL GIVE 5O
00:12:04.52\00:12:06.19
CENTS FOR THAT BLANKET?
(LAUGHTER) AND LET'S JUST GET TO
00:12:06.22\00:12:09.36
[HAWAII].' - AND TRY AND
CALM THE GUY DOWN, YOU KNOW. YOU
00:12:09.39\00:12:14.03
KNOW, MOSES LOST THE PROMISED
LAND BECAUSE HE LOST HIS TEMPER?
00:12:14.10\00:12:19.23
AND, I SUPPOSE, IF I HAD BEEN
LEADING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
00:12:19.27\00:12:22.27
I PROBABLY WOULD
HAVE LOST IT A LOT SOONER.
00:12:22.30\00:12:25.07
BUT MOSES HAD A TEMPER AND - YOU
REMEMBER, HE KILLED AN EGYPTIAN
00:12:25.11\00:12:29.18
- BURIED HIM IN THE SAND AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE FORTY YEARS.
00:12:29.21\00:12:33.72
AND THEN, AFTER - ACTUALLY,
HE DID THAT WHEN HE WAS 40 YEARS
00:12:33.75\00:12:37.39
OLD - 80 YEARS LATER
HE LOSES HIS TEMPER AGAIN.
00:12:37.42\00:12:40.26
SO YOU MAY BE THINKING, I'VE GOT
IT UNDER CONTROL FOR A WHILE AND
00:12:40.29\00:12:42.66
THEN YOU'VE GOT TO
WALK WITH THE LORD.
00:12:42.69\00:12:45.96
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, YOU
KNOW, I LOSE MY TEMPER BECAUSE
00:12:45.99\00:12:49.30
I'M SPANISH' - 'I'M ITALIAN' -
'I'M IRISH - I'VE GOT RED HAIR'
00:12:49.33\00:12:54.97
- 'I'M ENGLISH' - 'I'M GERMAN' -
YOU NAME IT, PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, I
00:12:55.00\00:12:59.11
CAN'T HELP IT BECAUSE I'M
HUMAN.' YOU EVER HEARD THAT?
00:12:59.14\00:13:03.65
'GOT IT FROM MY MOTHER.' 'GOT
IT FROM MY FATHER.' 'IT'S IN THE
00:13:03.68\00:13:07.52
WATER.' WE'VE ALL GOT EXCUSES
FOR WHY WE LOSE OUR TEMPERS.
00:13:07.55\00:13:12.35
THERE IS NO GOOD EXCUSE BECAUSE
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR TEMPER AND
00:13:12.39\00:13:16.52
WHEN YOU HAVE A TANTRUM, YOU
ARE, AS I SAID, BASICALLY GIVING
00:13:16.56\00:13:21.10
YOURSELF OVER TO THE DEVIL.
YOU'RE CREATING A WINDOW TO DO
00:13:21.13\00:13:25.27
THINGS YOU'LL LATER
REGRET. A BAD TEMPER IS A VERY
00:13:25.30\00:13:29.77
EXPENSIVE COMMODITY.
MOSES WAS NOT ALLOWED TO LEAD
00:13:29.80\00:13:34.14
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL INTO THE
PROMISED LAND BECAUSE HE LOST
00:13:34.18\00:13:38.11
HIS TEMPER AND SAID, "HEAR NOW,
YOU REBELS! MUST WE BRING WATER
00:13:38.15\00:13:42.58
FOR YOU OUT OF THIS ROCK?"
AND THEN HE SMOTE THE ROCK - HE
00:13:42.62\00:13:45.12
BEGAN TO BEAT THE ROCK WITH HIS
STAFF. GOD SAID, 'YOU DID NOT
00:13:45.15\00:13:48.39
HONOR ME BEFORE THE
PEOPLE. I CANNOT USE YOU.'
00:13:48.42\00:13:52.03
HE WAS TO BE A TYPE OF CHRIST.
PROVERBS 25:28, "WHOEVER HAS NO
00:13:52.06\00:13:57.47
RULE OVER HIS OWN SPIRIT IS
LIKE A CITY BROKEN DOWN, WITHOUT
00:13:57.50\00:14:00.30
WALLS." MEANING THE
DEVIL HAS ACCESS TO YOUR LIFE.
00:14:00.34\00:14:04.04
WE NEED WALLS.
YOU NEED SELF CONTROL.
00:14:04.07\00:14:06.34
ECCLESIASTES 7:9, "DO NOT HASTEN
IN YOUR SPIRIT TO BE ANGRY, FOR
00:14:06.37\00:14:12.41
ANGER RESTS IN
THE BOSOM OF FOOLS."
00:14:12.45\00:14:15.88
AND NOTICE HOW SOLOMON SAID
THAT - 'DO NOT HASTEN IN YOUR
00:14:15.92\00:14:18.62
SPIRIT.' HE DOESN'T
SAY YOU SHOULD NEVER
00:14:18.65\00:14:19.95
BE ANGRY, BUT DO NOT HASTEN TO
BE ANGRY - BECAUSE ANGER RESTS -
00:14:19.99\00:14:23.79
THAT MEANS IT STAYS - IN
THE BOSOM OF FOOLS. SOMEONE SAID
00:14:23.83\00:14:29.56
ANGER WILL LESSEN YOUR PERCEIVED
IQ. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT
00:14:29.60\00:14:33.97
THE EMPTIER A POT
IS, THE QUICKER IT BOILS?
00:14:34.00\00:14:37.84
- THE MORE SHALLOW THE WATER IN
THE POT, THE QUICKER IT BOILS.
00:14:37.87\00:14:41.78
IF A PERSON HAS A LITTLE DEPTH,
THEY'RE USUALLY MORE CONTROLLED.
00:14:41.81\00:14:46.95
THOMAS KEMPIS SAID, 'WHEN ANGER
ENTERS THE MIND, WISDOM DEPARTS.
00:14:46.98\00:14:52.39
SOMEONE ELSE SAID, 'AN ANGRY
MAN IS SELDOM REASONABLE AND A
00:14:52.42\00:14:55.76
REASONABLE MAN IS SELDOM ANGRY.'
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL, PEOPLE
00:14:55.79\00:15:00.50
OUT THERE ALWAYS GIVING EVERYONE
ELSE A PIECE OF THEIR MIND - YOU
00:15:00.53\00:15:02.73
KEEP GIVING AWAY ENOUGH PIECES
OF YOUR MIND, YOU HAVE NOTHING
00:15:02.76\00:15:04.57
LEFT. ANGER WILL AFFECT YOUR
IQ. RALPH WALDO EMERSON SAID,
00:15:04.60\00:15:11.44
'WE ALL BOIL, JUST AT DIFFERENT
DEGREES.' SO YOU WANT TO BE
00:15:11.47\00:15:14.14
SLOW. ANGER IS BAD FOR YOUR
HEALTH. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY
00:15:14.18\00:15:19.55
CONSCIOUS ABOUT THE
HEALTH MESSAGE AND THEY WONDER
00:15:19.58\00:15:21.65
WHY THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY.
IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'RE
00:15:21.68\00:15:24.19
EATING, IT'S BECAUSE
OF WHAT'S EATING YOU.
00:15:24.22\00:15:27.69
AND, IF WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO
BE EATEN UP WITH ANGER, YOU CAN
00:15:27.72\00:15:32.63
FOLLOW THE HEALTH MESSAGE,
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SICK.
00:15:32.66\00:15:35.53
ANGRY, CYNICAL PEOPLE DIE YOUNG.
THIS WAS A STUDY THAT WAS DONE
00:15:35.56\00:15:38.43
BACK IN 1989, BUT I
THINK IT'S STILL RELEVANT.
00:15:38.47\00:15:41.30
THEY TESTED A VARIETY OF MEN
AND THOSE WHO SCORED HIGH FOR
00:15:41.34\00:15:44.97
HOSTILITY ON THE STANDARD TESTS
ENDED UP BECOMING FOUR TIMES
00:15:45.01\00:15:49.24
MORE LIKELY TO DIE PREMATURELY
THAN MEN WHOSE SCORES WERE LOW.
00:15:49.28\00:15:54.22
THEY ALSO TOOK ANOTHER 27 MEN
IN CORAL GABLES AND THEY STUDIED
00:15:54.25\00:15:57.65
THEIR HEART/BLOOD DISTRIBUTION
AND THEY ASKED THEM A BUNCH OF
00:15:57.69\00:16:01.02
QUESTIONS AND THEY DID PHYSICAL
TESTS AND MENTAL TESTS AND THEY
00:16:01.06\00:16:04.36
FINALLY SAID, 'THINK ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT MADE YOU REALLY
00:16:04.39\00:16:06.23
ANGRY THAT HAPPENED.' THEY
MEASURED THE HEART WITH ALL
00:16:06.26\00:16:08.86
THESE VERY SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS
AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE ONE
00:16:08.90\00:16:14.04
THING THAT AFFECTED THE
DISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD FROM THE
00:16:14.07\00:16:16.71
HEART TO THE TISSUE THE MOST WAS
WHEN THEY WERE THINKING ANGRY
00:16:16.74\00:16:20.71
THOUGHTS. IT
RELEASED CHEMICALS IN THEIR
00:16:20.74\00:16:23.28
BODY THAT RESTRICTED THE
BLOOD VESSELS AND AFFECTED
00:16:23.31\00:16:26.58
THE FLOW OF THE BLOOD.
THAT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH.
00:16:26.61\00:16:31.62
LIVING IN
SUSTAINED ANGER IS NOT GOOD.
00:16:31.65\00:16:36.12
EPHESIANS 4:26, "...DO NOT LET
THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR WRATH."
00:16:36.16\00:16:40.50
NOW THIS VERSE HAS
SOMETIMES BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD.
00:16:40.53\00:16:43.87
SOMEONE WAS INTERVIEWING AN
OLD TEXAN WHO'D BEEN MARRIED FOR
00:16:43.90\00:16:47.20
SIXTY YEARS AND THEY SAID, 'TO
WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE YOUR LONG
00:16:47.24\00:16:51.24
AND HAPPY MARRIAGE?' HE
SAID, 'WELL, WE DETERMINED
00:16:51.27\00:16:53.31
EARLY ON NEVER TO LET
THE SUN GO DOWN ON OUR WRATH.
00:16:53.34\00:16:57.98
WE WOULDN'T GO TO SLEEP UNTIL WE
RESOLVED OUR DIFFERENCES.' AND
00:16:58.01\00:17:01.68
HE SAID, 'I HAVE TO TELL
YOU, THERE WERE WEEKS WE DIDN'T
00:17:01.72\00:17:03.32
SLEEP.' (LAUGHTER) SO IT
IS A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP SHORT
00:17:03.35\00:17:08.02
ACCOUNTS. BUT, YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU'LL
00:17:08.06\00:17:11.16
FIND, IF YOU DO GO TO
SLEEP, EVEN IF YOU ARE ANGRY, IT
00:17:11.19\00:17:14.30
GOES AWAY IN THE
MORNING. WHAT YOU NEEDED WAS
00:17:14.30\00:17:16.06
A NIGHT'S SLEEP.
SO, A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN
00:17:16.10\00:17:20.34
THERE'S DISPUTES IN FAMILIES OR
MARRIAGES, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT
00:17:20.37\00:17:23.47
BE, REST ON IT AND
THINGS SORT THEMSELVES OUT.
00:17:23.51\00:17:29.88
SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING YOU GET
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND YOU
00:17:29.91\00:17:32.11
REALIZE IT'S
NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.
00:17:32.15\00:17:35.05
DON'T EVER DISCIPLINE
YOUR CHILDREN IN ANGER.
00:17:35.08\00:17:38.12
DON'T EVER LOSE YOUR TEMPER
IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN.
00:17:38.15\00:17:41.92
THREE RULES FOR RAISING CHILDREN
IS EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE.
00:17:41.96\00:17:47.50
THERE WAS AN AUTHOR FOR NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC, HE WAS WRITING AN
00:17:47.50\00:17:49.96
ARTICLE ABOUT THE AMISH PEOPLE.
AND, ONE DAY, AS HE WAS VISITING
00:17:50.00\00:17:53.97
THE AMISH SCHOOL, THE THING THAT
STRUCK HIM WAS THAT NONE OF THE
00:17:54.00\00:17:59.47
CHILDREN IN THE PLAYGROUND EVER
RAISED THEIR VOICES AND YELLED.
00:17:59.51\00:18:03.28
THEY ALL PLAYED IN A
VERY KIND, COOPERATIVE WAY.
00:18:03.31\00:18:07.28
AND HE WENT TO THE SCHOOLMASTER
AND HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, I DON'T
00:18:07.32\00:18:09.02
KNOW IF I'VE EVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE THIS.' HE SAID, 'I DON'T
00:18:09.05\00:18:11.72
EVER SEE ANY OF THE AMISH
CHILDREN YELL AT EACH OTHER.'
00:18:11.75\00:18:15.92
AND THE SCHOOLMASTER SAID, 'HAVE
YOU EVER HEARD AMISH ADULTS
00:18:15.96\00:18:19.19
YELLING AT EACH OTHER?'
HE SAID, 'NO, I HAVEN'T.' HE
00:18:19.23\00:18:23.20
SAYS, 'THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T
HEAR AMISH CHILDREN YELLING
00:18:23.23\00:18:25.27
AT EACH OTHER.' WOW.
00:18:25.30\00:18:27.74
WHEN YOU SEE KIDS GOING
BALLISTIC IN PUBLIC, YOU WONDER
00:18:27.77\00:18:31.77
WHAT ARE THEY SEEING AT
HOME? NOT ALWAYS, BUT IT
00:18:31.81\00:18:37.18
MAKES YOU WONDER.
NEVER DISCIPLINE YOUR
00:18:37.21\00:18:39.95
CHILDREN IN ANGER.
JEREMIAH 10:24, "O LORD," - THE
00:18:39.98\00:18:44.15
PROPHET PRAYED - "CORRECT ME,
BUT WITH JUSTICE; NOT IN YOUR
00:18:44.19\00:18:48.79
ANGER, LEST YOU
BRING ME TO NOTHING."
00:18:48.82\00:18:50.99
WHAT IF GOD
DISCIPLINED US IN ANGER?
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.16
WELL, HE WILL,
SOMEDAY, FOR THE LOST.
00:18:53.19\00:18:55.46
AND WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THE WRATH OF THE LAMB?
00:18:55.50\00:18:57.93
THEY DON'T SURVIVE.
SO, IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR
00:18:57.97\00:19:00.94
HEAVENLY FATHER TO DISCIPLINE
YOU IN ANGER, YOU DON'T WANT
00:19:00.97\00:19:03.24
TO DISCIPLINE OTHERS IN
ANGER. SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
00:19:03.27\00:19:06.37
WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR
OVERCOMING INAPPROPRIATE ANGER?
00:19:06.41\00:19:09.24
BECAUSE I'VE TOLD YOU THERE'S
A RIGHT TIME TO BE ANGRY.
00:19:09.28\00:19:12.28
ALRIGHT, PATIENCE - ONE
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS.
00:19:12.31\00:19:16.89
IT SAYS IT OVER AND OVER IN
THE BIBLE - PROVERBS 15:18, "A
00:19:16.92\00:19:20.19
WRATHFUL MAN STIRS UP STRIFE,
BUT HE WHO IS SLOW TO ANGER
00:19:20.22\00:19:26.39
ALLAYS CONTENTION." YOU
NOTICE HE SAYS 'SLOW TO ANGER'.
00:19:26.43\00:19:30.17
IT DOESN'T SAY
YOU NEVER HAVE ANGER.
00:19:30.20\00:19:33.07
AGAIN, PROVERBS 16:32, "HE WHO
IS SLOW TO ANGER IS BETTER THAN
00:19:33.10\00:19:37.24
THE MIGHTY, AND HE WHO RULES
HIS SPIRIT THAN HE WHO TAKES A
00:19:37.27\00:19:41.01
CITY." SO YOU
PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT OF
00:19:41.04\00:19:42.78
GOD TO GIVE YOU
PATIENCE AND SELF-RULE.
00:19:42.81\00:19:46.18
DO YOU KNOW THE PHRASE 'SLOW TO
ANGER' IS MENTIONED NINE TIMES
00:19:46.21\00:19:48.65
IN THE BIBLE? IT
DOESN'T SAY DON'T BE ANGRY,
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.95
IT SAYS 'SLOW TO ANGER'.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
00:19:50.99\00:19:54.32
YOU'VE GOT THE
REAL REASON TO BE ANGRY.
00:19:54.36\00:19:56.59
AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAD AN
INTERESTING HABIT: ONE TIME HIS
00:19:56.62\00:20:02.03
SECRETARY, STANTON, CAME TO
HIM AND HE WAS JUST OUTRAGED BY
00:20:02.06\00:20:05.20
SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE IN THE
GOVERNMENT HAD DONE AND LINCOLN
00:20:05.23\00:20:08.10
SAID, 'I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO WRITE A LETTER AND TELL HIM
00:20:08.14\00:20:10.54
EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL.' SO
STANTON SPENT A DAY AND A HALF
00:20:10.57\00:20:13.34
WRITING THIS LETTER. HE
BROUGHT IT TO LINCOLN AND
00:20:13.38\00:20:15.14
SAID, 'SO, SHOULD I MAIL IT
NOW?' HE SAID, 'NO, DON'T MAIL
00:20:15.18\00:20:17.58
IT.' HE SAID, 'THROW IT AWAY
NOW.' HE SAID, 'YOU PROBABLY
00:20:17.61\00:20:20.08
ALREADY FEEL MUCH BETTER.'
HE SAYS, 'NOW WRITE ONE THAT'S
00:20:20.12\00:20:22.95
DISCREET AND DIPLOMATIC.'
HAVE YOU EVER DONE THAT?
00:20:22.98\00:20:27.62
SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING
OR MISTREATS YOU OR THEY DO
00:20:27.66\00:20:30.93
SOMETHING INCONSIDERATE AND YOU
TYPE OUT AN E-MAIL AND THERE'S
00:20:30.96\00:20:35.36
JUST SMOKE COMING
OFF THE KEYS, YOU KNOW?
00:20:35.40\00:20:38.13
AND YOU HAVE ALL THE RIGHT
WORDS AND YOU LOOK AT IT AND THE
00:20:38.17\00:20:45.24
LONGER YOU LOOK AT IT YOU THINK,
'WELL, MAYBE I OUGHT TO CHANGE
00:20:45.27\00:20:47.84
THAT WORD.' WELL, I DON'T NEED
THAT LINE IN THERE, I'LL DELETE
00:20:47.88\00:20:52.08
THAT ONE AND' - DON'T EVER SEND
AN E-MAIL WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY,
00:20:52.11\00:20:56.12
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T UNDELETE - YOU
CAN'T UNSEND, YOU KNOW WHAT I
00:20:56.15\00:20:59.25
MEAN? AND YOU SEND
SOMETHING WHEN YOUR
00:20:59.29\00:21:03.83
BLOOD'S BOILING AND LATER YOU
SAY, 'OH, I OVERREACTED AND NOW
00:21:03.86\00:21:09.40
THAT PERSON WILL
NEVER BE A FRIEND AGAIN.
00:21:09.43\00:21:11.80
ALL I NEEDED TO DO WAS THINK
ABOUT IT A LITTLE MORE.' WRITE
00:21:11.83\00:21:14.24
THE LETTER, BUT
USE A PENCIL AND PAPER.
00:21:14.27\00:21:17.24
DON'T DO IT ON YOUR KEYBOARD,
YOU MIGHT BUMP THE SEND BUTTON.
00:21:17.27\00:21:19.84
(LAUGHTER) JAMES 1:19, "...LET
EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW
00:21:19.87\00:21:25.41
TO SPEAK, SLOW TO WRATH; FOR THE
WRATH OF MAN DOES NOT PRODUCE
00:21:25.45\00:21:30.09
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
GOD." PRAY WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY.
00:21:30.12\00:21:36.69
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY YOU
WILL FEEL LIKE PRAYING THE LEAST
00:21:36.73\00:21:41.76
BUT IT IS WHEN YOU
FEEL LIKE PRAYING THE MOST.
00:21:41.80\00:21:45.33
IT DOESN'T HELP IF THE PERSON
YOU'RE ANGRY AT - IF THEY'RE
00:21:45.37\00:21:48.94
ASKING YOU TO PRAY,
BUT YOU MAY NEED TO.
00:21:48.97\00:21:53.94
CLAIM THE PROMISES OF GOD.
00:21:53.98\00:21:55.48
THE BIBLE'S FULL OF EXCEEDING
GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES LIKE
00:21:55.51\00:21:58.45
GALATIANS 2:20, "I HAVE BEEN
CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST" - IT'S
00:21:58.48\00:22:02.22
HARD TO BE ANGRY WHEN YOU
REALIZE, 'HEY, JESUS DIED ON A
00:22:02.25\00:22:05.12
CROSS FOR THIS PERSON'S SINS.
HE DIED ON A CROSS FOR MY SIN.
00:22:05.15\00:22:08.46
WHAT RIGHT DO I HAVE
TO BE SO ANGRY AT THEM?'
00:22:08.49\00:22:11.63
YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT HELPS
ME NOT BE ANGRY WITH PEOPLE?
00:22:11.66\00:22:14.66
I HEAR ABOUT FOLKS WHO SAY
THEY'RE ANGRY AT GOD AND, IF YOU
00:22:14.73\00:22:19.63
TRUST THAT GOD IS GOOD, YOU CAN
USUALLY WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH
00:22:19.67\00:22:22.04
THAT. BUT WHEN YOU
GET ANGRY AT PEOPLE
00:22:22.07\00:22:24.67
- I THINK ABOUT THAT PARABLE
IN MATTHEW 18, OF THE UNMERCIFUL
00:22:24.71\00:22:28.58
DEBTOR WHO IS FORGIVEN TEN
THOUSAND TALENTS AND GOD HAS
00:22:28.61\00:22:35.65
FORGIVEN US SO MUCH THAT WHAT
RIGHT DO I HAVE FOR THE LITTLE
00:22:35.68\00:22:38.89
OFFENSES THAT WE
HAVE WITH EACH OTHER?
00:22:38.92\00:22:41.46
THE OTHER THING THAT HELPS ME IS
I REMEMBER THAT THE LORD LOVES
00:22:41.49\00:22:45.19
EVERYBODY AND SINNERS ARE GOING
TO DO DIABOLICAL THINGS BECAUSE
00:22:45.23\00:22:49.16
THEY'RE BEING
TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL.
00:22:49.20\00:22:50.60
SO, IF PEOPLE DO DEVILISH
THINGS, THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED IF
00:22:50.63\00:22:54.27
THEY'RE LOST. YOU'VE GOT
TO LOVE EVEN THOSE PEOPLE.
00:22:54.30\00:22:56.84
JESUS SAID 'LOVE
YOUR ENEMIES' - RIGHT?
00:22:56.87\00:22:59.37
HE DIDN'T SAY 'BE ANGRY AT
THEM.' 'GIVE THEM A PIECE OF
00:22:59.41\00:23:02.64
YOUR MIND.' "A SOFT ANSWER TURNS
AWAY WRATH" - PROVERBS 15:1 -
00:23:02.68\00:23:10.79
THERE'S AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE
OF THIS IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES,
00:23:10.82\00:23:13.32
CHAPTER 8. GIDEON,
WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING
00:23:13.36\00:23:15.72
AGAINST THE MIDIANITES, HE DID
NOT CALL THE TRIBE OF EPHRAIM TO
00:23:15.76\00:23:19.63
GO WITH HIM TO BATTLE AND THEY
FELT LEFT OUT OF THE VICTORY.
00:23:19.66\00:23:22.30
THEY, ON THEIR OWN, THEY WENT
OUT AND THEY FOUGHT AGAINST THE
00:23:22.33\00:23:24.77
PRINCES OF THE MIDIANITES AND
THEY WERE GOING TO, NOW, HAVE A
00:23:24.80\00:23:29.34
CIVIL WAR WITH GIDEON. AND
IT SAYS - I'M READING, NOW,
00:23:29.37\00:23:32.84
JUDGES 8:1, "NOW THE MEN
OF EPHRAIM ...REPRIMANDED HIM
00:23:32.87\00:23:37.28
SHARPLY. SO HE
SAID TO THEM, 'WHAT HAVE
00:23:37.31\00:23:40.55
I DONE NOW IN
COMPARISON WITH YOU?
00:23:40.58\00:23:42.68
IS NOT THE GLEANING OF THE
GRAPES OF EPHRAIM BETTER THAN
00:23:42.72\00:23:44.82
THE VINTAGE OF ABIEZER?
GOD HAS DELIVERED INTO YOUR
00:23:44.85\00:23:47.72
HANDS THE PRINCES OF
MIDIAN, OREB AND ZEEB.
00:23:47.76\00:23:50.73
AND WHAT WAS I ABLE TO
DO IN COMPARISON WITH YOU?'
00:23:50.76\00:23:53.03
THEN THEIR ANGER TOWARD HIM
SUBSIDED WHEN HE SAID THAT."
00:23:53.06\00:23:57.37
HE GAVE THEM A GENTLE DELICATE
SOFT ANSWER AND IT DEFUSED THE
00:23:57.40\00:24:03.44
WHOLE THING THAT COULD
HAVE TURNED INTO A CIVIL WAR.
00:24:03.47\00:24:06.84
GRIEVOUS WORDS STIR UP STRIFE.
IF YOU'RE IN AN ARGUMENT WITH
00:24:06.88\00:24:10.01
SOMEBODY AND, EVEN IN YOU'RE
RIGHT, YOU MIGHT NEED TO LOOK
00:24:10.05\00:24:13.25
YOUR EYES DOWN AND SAY,
'YOU KNOW, I'LL LISTEN TO THAT.
00:24:13.28\00:24:15.48
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.'
AND JUST LET A PERSON VENT
00:24:15.52\00:24:18.95
SOMETIMES. DON'T
FEEL LIKE YOU'VE GOT TO
00:24:18.99\00:24:20.62
TELL THEM HOW WRONG THEY ARE.
A SOFT ANSWER - IN MARRIAGES -
00:24:20.66\00:24:28.20
A SOFT ANSWER TURNS AWAY
WRATH. PSALM 46:10, "BE STILL,
00:24:28.23\00:24:33.40
AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE REASON
00:24:33.44\00:24:37.64
THAT YOU AND I HAVE HOPE OF
SALVATION IS BECAUSE, AFTER THE
00:24:37.67\00:24:41.74
DEVIL DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO
GET JESUS TO REACT AT THE CROSS,
00:24:41.78\00:24:47.72
THROUGH HIS TRIAL - THROUGH HIS
TORTURE - THEY DID EVERYTHING
00:24:47.75\00:24:50.95
THEY COULD TO PROVOKE CHRIST.
YOU NAME SOMETHING THAT CAN BE
00:24:50.99\00:24:53.49
DONE TO MAKE A PERSON LOSE
IT AND JESUS NEVER LOST IT.
00:24:53.52\00:24:58.73
BECAUSE HE DID NOT LOSE HIS
TEMPER, WE CAN FIND SALVATION.
00:24:58.76\00:25:04.30
AND SO, HE SET AN EXAMPLE
FOR US. HE WAS THINKING ABOUT US
00:25:04.33\00:25:09.14
WHEN HE KEPT HIS COOL.
JESUS DIDN'T COME TO MAKE US
00:25:09.17\00:25:13.74
STRESS, HE CAME
TO GIVE US PEACE.
00:25:13.78\00:25:15.68
HE SAYS, 'PEACE I GIVE TO YOU,
NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES, GIVE I
00:25:15.71\00:25:18.08
UNTO YOU.' 'LET NOT YOUR HEART
BE TROUBLED.' 'BE ANXIOUS FOR
00:25:18.11\00:25:22.78
NOTHING.' 'FEAR NOT.' SO MANY
TIMES PEOPLE ARE ANGRY BECAUSE
00:25:22.82\00:25:26.82
THEY JUST - THEY
DON'T HAVE PEACE.
00:25:26.86\00:25:29.39
AND THE LORD IS GIVING YOU
A PEACE THAT THE WORLD DOESN'T
00:25:29.42\00:25:32.29
UNDERSTAND - A PEACE
THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING.
00:25:32.33\00:25:35.73
I WANT THAT PEACE, DON'T YOU?
