>>I HOPE YOU ARE ALL IN A GOOD
MOOD BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TALK
00:01:49.27\00:01:52.31
ABOUT ANGER; AND IF YOU'RE
ALREADY ANGRY THIS MAY GO THE
00:01:52.34\00:01:57.11
WRONG WAY. THE
MESSAGE TITLE TODAY IS
00:01:57.15\00:02:01.65
DEALING WITH, WHAT MAY
SOUND LIKE AN OXYMORON,
00:02:01.68\00:02:04.75
THE ANGRY CHRISTIAN.
YOU KNOW, BACK IN MARCH THIS
00:02:04.79\00:02:08.69
YEAR, THERE WAS A PLANE
THAT WAS TRAVELING FROM LAS
00:02:08.72\00:02:12.49
VEGAS TO HAWAII.
SOMETIME SHORTLY AFTER THEY
00:02:12.53\00:02:16.26
FINALLY PASSED OVER THE PACIFIC
OCEAN, ONE OF THE PASSENGERS
00:02:16.30\00:02:21.64
BECAME VERY AGITATED BECAUSE
THEY ASKED FOR A BLANKET - I
00:02:21.67\00:02:26.71
GUESS THE PLANE WAS COLD - AND
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT SAID IT WAS
00:02:26.74\00:02:31.01
TWELVE DOLLARS FOR ONE OF THEIR
BLANKETS. AND HE SAID, 'THAT'S
00:02:31.05\00:02:36.18
NOT REASONABLE.' HE SAID,
'YOU'RE THE ONES MAKING THE
00:02:36.22\00:02:38.95
PLANE COLD.' THEY SAID, 'WE'RE
SORRY, THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS
00:02:38.99\00:02:42.02
FOR ONE OF THE BLANKETS.'
AND IT TURNED INTO QUITE A STIR.
00:02:42.06\00:02:48.93
AT ONE POINT THEN, THE
66-YEAR-OLD MAN THREATENED TO
00:02:48.96\00:02:52.13
TAKE THE FLIGHT
ATTENDANT OUT TO THE WOODSHED.
00:02:52.17\00:02:55.97
THEY WEREN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT
THAT MEANT, BUT THEY TOOK IT AS
00:02:56.00\00:02:58.34
A THREAT AND THEY WERE AFRAID -
'YOU KNOW, IF THIS FELLA'S GOT A
00:02:58.37\00:03:02.14
TEMPER AND WE GET OUT OVER THE
MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN, WHO
00:03:02.18\00:03:07.35
KNOWS WHAT COULD
HAPPEN AT THAT POINT?'
00:03:07.38\00:03:09.92
SO THEY TURNED BACK AND
THEY SCHEDULED - THEY MADE AN
00:03:09.95\00:03:13.09
UNSCHEDULED LANDING THERE AT LAX
- LOS ANGELES - AND EVERYBODY
00:03:13.12\00:03:17.89
WAS DELAYED FOR HOURS.
THEY ESCORTED THE MAN OFF THE
00:03:17.93\00:03:21.46
PLANE - PROBABLY
WRECKED HIS HAWAII VACATION.
00:03:21.50\00:03:26.94
SOMEBODY COMMENTED LATER,
THEY SAID, 'IT COST THE AIRLINE
00:03:26.97\00:03:31.04
$12,000.00 TO MAKE THAT
UNSCHEDULED LANDING BECAUSE OF A
00:03:31.07\00:03:35.91
DISPUTE OVER A $12.00 BLANKET.
ANGER IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE.
00:03:35.94\00:03:42.75
YOU READ FIRST IN THE BIBLE
WHERE CAIN BECAME ANGRY WITH HIS
00:03:42.78\00:03:46.69
BROTHER AND GOD ASKED
CAIN, 'WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?'
00:03:46.72\00:03:51.03
IF THERE'S SIN AT THE DOOR,
YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT.
00:03:51.06\00:03:54.73
THAT ANGER IN THE HEART OF CAIN
LED HIM TO KILL HIS BROTHER.
00:03:54.73\00:04:00.07
THE BIBLE TELLS US JESUS SAID,
'I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER IS ANGRY
00:04:00.10\00:04:03.77
WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A
CAUSE, SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE
00:04:03.81\00:04:07.24
JUDGMENT.' NOW DON'T MISS THAT
JESUS SAID, 'WITHOUT A CAUSE' -
00:04:07.28\00:04:11.45
MEANING THERE MAY BE A
TIME WHEN ANGER IS APPROPRIATE.
00:04:11.48\00:04:16.12
1 JOHN 3:12, "NOT AS CAIN
WHO WAS OF THE WICKED ONE AND
00:04:16.15\00:04:20.86
MURDERED HIS BROTHER.
AND WHY DID HE MURDER HIM?
00:04:20.89\00:04:24.43
BECAUSE HIS WORKS WERE EVIL
AND HIS BROTHER'S RIGHTEOUS."
00:04:24.46\00:04:27.60
SO THAT'S THE ANSWER WHY SOME
PEOPLE BECOME ANGRY, IS BECAUSE
00:04:27.60\00:04:29.93
THEY'RE WRONG. I THINK
IT WAS CHARLES DE GAULLE
00:04:29.96\00:04:33.37
WHO SAID, 'WHEN
I'M RIGHT I GET ANGRY.
00:04:33.40\00:04:36.94
WINSTON CHURCHILL, ON THE OTHER
HAND, 'WHEN HE'S WRONG HE GETS
00:04:36.97\00:04:40.01
ANGRY. SO WE
OFTEN ARGUE WITH EACH
00:04:40.04\00:04:42.01
OTHER BECAUSE I'M
RIGHT AND HE'S WRONG.'
00:04:42.04\00:04:45.31
WHAT DE GAULLE
SAID. BUT IT'S TRUE.
00:04:45.35\00:04:48.68
SOMETIMES WE BECOME
ANGRY BECAUSE SOMEONE'S RIGHT.
00:04:48.72\00:04:51.62
1 JOHN 3:15, "WHOEVER HATES HIS
BROTHER IS A MURDERER, AND YOU
00:04:51.65\00:04:55.46
KNOW THAT NO MURDERER HAS
ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN HIM."
00:04:55.49\00:04:58.59
WELL, MAYBE BEFORE WE GO ANY
FARTHER, IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA
00:04:58.63\00:05:01.00
TO JUST - LET'S LOOK AT A SIMPLE
DEFINITION - WHAT IS ANGER?
00:05:01.03\00:05:04.77
ANGER, A NOUN, 'A STRONG FEELING
OF DISPLEASURE, BELLIGERENCE,
00:05:04.80\00:05:09.50
HOSTILITY, OR WRATH AROUSED BY
SOME REAL OR PERCEIVED WRONG.'
00:05:09.54\00:05:15.08
THAT'S ANGER. NOW,
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED
00:05:15.11\00:05:18.68
THAT THERE IS GOOD ANGER.
ROMANS 1:18, "FOR THE WRATH OF
00:05:18.71\00:05:24.39
GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN
AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND
00:05:24.42\00:05:28.32
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF
MEN, WHO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH
00:05:28.36\00:05:31.33
IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." SO
DOES GOD EVER GET ANGRY?
00:05:31.36\00:05:35.93
SEE, WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD AND THERE IS A PASSION -
00:05:35.96\00:05:39.03
THERE IS A RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
- THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE
00:05:39.07\00:05:43.81
EMOTION OF ANGER THAT WE SHOULD
ALL HAVE INSIDE TOWARDS THE
00:05:43.84\00:05:49.68
JUST PURPOSES. JESUS GOT ANGRY.
00:05:49.71\00:05:56.42
MARK 3:1, "AND WHEN HE
HAD LOOKED AROUND AT THEM WITH
00:05:56.45\00:06:00.26
ANGER," - CAN'T BE MISUNDERSTOOD
- "BEING GRIEVED BY THE HARDNESS
00:06:00.29\00:06:04.09
OF THEIR HEARTS." -
THEY WERE MAD THAT HE WAS
00:06:04.13\00:06:06.86
GOING TO HEAL THIS MAN. HE
SAID TO THE MAN, 'STRETCH OUT
00:06:06.90\00:06:09.66
YOUR HAND.' HE STRETCHED
IT OUT AND HE WAS RESTORED.
00:06:09.70\00:06:13.40
HE BECAME ANGRY AT
THEIR COLD HEARTEDNESS.
00:06:13.44\00:06:20.08
MOSES BECAME ANGRY -
EXODUS 32:19 - HE CAME DOWN THE
00:06:20.11\00:06:23.31
MOUNTAIN AFTER GETTING THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS AND, OF COURSE,
00:06:23.35\00:06:26.92
THERE, AGAIN,
YOU'VE GOT THE LAW.
00:06:26.95\00:06:28.28
THE DEVIL WAS MAD AT THAT
SO HE TEMPTED EVERYBODY TO SIN.
00:06:28.32\00:06:30.92
"...HE SAW THE CALF AND THE
DANCING. SO MOSES' ANGER BECAME
00:06:30.95\00:06:35.26
HOT," - WAS THAT
THE RIGHT KIND OF ANGER?
00:06:35.29\00:06:39.69
HE WAS JUST SO OUTRAGED
THAT AFTER THEY JUST MADE THIS
00:06:39.73\00:06:43.53
COVENANT WITH GOD, MOSES HAS THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS STILL RADIATING
00:06:43.57\00:06:46.84
IN HIS HANDS WITH THE WRITING OF
THE HAND OF GOD AND HE GOES TO
00:06:46.87\00:06:50.04
THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE
BREAKING ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:06:50.07\00:06:53.11
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A TIME
FOR RIGHTEOUS JUSTIFIED ANGER.
00:06:53.14\00:06:57.68
THE EARLY CHURCH FATHER JOHN
CHRYSOSTOM SAID, 'HE WHO IS NOT
00:06:57.71\00:07:02.05
ANGRY WHEN HE HAS CAUSE TO BE
SINS. FOR UNREASONABLE PATIENCE
00:07:02.08\00:07:08.96
IS THE HOTBED OF MANY VICES.'
IN OTHER WORDS, NOT BEING ANGRY
00:07:08.99\00:07:13.36
WHEN YOU SHOULD BE ANGRY CAN
BE A SIN BECAUSE IT CAN BE AN
00:07:13.40\00:07:17.30
INDIFFERENCE - IT CAN BE A
LUKEWARMNESS THAT YOU'RE NOT
00:07:17.33\00:07:20.50
OUTRAGED BY SOMETHING
THAT SHOULD BE A PROBLEM.
00:07:20.54\00:07:25.77
MARK 11:15, "SO
THEY CAME TO JERUSALEM.
00:07:25.81\00:07:29.54
THEN JESUS WENT INTO THE TEMPLE
AND BEGAN TO DRIVE OUT THOSE WHO
00:07:29.58\00:07:33.08
BOUGHT AND SOLD IN THE TEMPLE,
AND OVERTURNED THE TABLES OF THE
00:07:33.11\00:07:36.42
MONEY CHANGERS AND THE
SEATS OF THOSE WHO SOLD DOVES."
00:07:36.45\00:07:39.79
AND HE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO
CARRY WARES THROUGH THE TEMPLE
00:07:39.82\00:07:43.02
AND HE SAID, 'YOU'VE MADE
MY FATHER'S HOUSE A DEN OF
00:07:43.06\00:07:45.09
THIEVES.' NOW I DON'T KNOW IF
ANYONE WENT AS FAR AS NEHEMIAH
00:07:45.13\00:07:49.50
IN THE BIBLE, WITH THE CHURCH
AND, HOPEFULLY, THE PASTORS WILL
00:07:49.53\00:07:52.67
NOT EVER HAVE TO RESORT TO THIS,
BUT NEHEMIAH SAYS, "I CONTENDED
00:07:52.70\00:07:56.40
WITH THEM AND CURSED THEM AND
STRUCK SOME OF THEM AND PULLED
00:07:56.44\00:08:00.38
OUT THEIR HAIR AND MADE THEM
SWEAR BY GOD SAYING, 'YOU WILL
00:08:00.41\00:08:05.08
NOT GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS AS WIVES
TO THE SONS OF THE PAGANS, NOR
00:08:05.11\00:08:08.95
TAKE THEIR DAUGHTERS TO YOUR
SONS' NEHEMIAH SAID, 'THIS IS
00:08:08.98\00:08:12.35
HOW WE GOT CARRIED OFF TO
BABYLON IN THE FIRST PLACE AND
00:08:12.39\00:08:15.32
YOU'RE STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN.'
AND HE FLEW OFF THE HANDLE.
00:08:15.36\00:08:19.03
JOHN WESLEY, HE SAID, 'HE THAT
WOULD BE ANGRY AND SIN NOT MUST
00:08:19.06\00:08:24.53
NOT BE ANGRY WITH ANYTHING BUT
SIN.' SO THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER IS
00:08:24.57\00:08:30.81
THE ANGER AGAINST A SIN OF SOME
FORM. MARTIN LUTHER BECAME ANGRY
00:08:30.84\00:08:36.48
AT THE CHURCH'S ABUSE OF POWER.
HE SAID, 'WHEN I'M ANGRY, I CAN
00:08:36.51\00:08:39.98
WRITE, I CAN PRAY, I CAN
PREACH WELL. FOR THEN MY WHOLE
00:08:40.02\00:08:43.22
TEMPERAMENT IS QUICKENED, MY
UNDERSTANDING IS SHARPENED AND
00:08:43.25\00:08:46.25
THE MUNDANE VEXATIONS
AND TEMPERAMENTS DEPART.'
00:08:46.29\00:08:49.79
WHEN HE SAW THE OUTRAGEOUS
THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN
00:08:49.82\00:08:51.79
THE CHURCH, HE WAS ANIMATED
BY THIS RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.
00:08:51.83\00:08:55.50
AND, IF YOU'VE EVER READ ANY OF
LUTHER'S WRITINGS, YOU COULD SEE
00:08:55.53\00:08:57.97
THAT HE DID HAVE A PRETTY
ANIMATED NATURE, TO PUT IT
00:08:58.00\00:09:02.97
MILDLY.
ARISTOTLE PUT IT THIS WAY:
00:09:03.00\00:09:06.27
'ANYBODY CAN
BECOME ANGRY, THAT'S EASY.
00:09:06.31\00:09:08.44
BUT TO BE ANGRY WITH THE RIGHT
PERSON TO THE RIGHT DEGREE AT
00:09:08.48\00:09:11.88
THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RIGHT
PURPOSE IN THE RIGHT WAY, THAT
00:09:11.91\00:09:15.08
IS NOT WITHIN EVERYBODY'S POWER
AND IT IS NOT EASY.' AND A LOT
00:09:15.12\00:09:19.85
OF TIMES WE THINK THAT OUR ANGER
IS THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER AND IT IS
00:09:19.89\00:09:23.76
NOT. >>DON'T GO
ANYWHERE, FRIENDS, IN
00:09:23.79\00:09:26.66
JUST A FEW MOMENTS WE'LL
RETURN TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:09:26.70\00:09:29.96
HAVE YOU EVER STRUGGLED
WITH DEPRESSION OR ANGER?
00:09:30.00\00:09:33.13
CONFUSION? MAYBE YOU'RE BOUND
BY A VARIETY OF ADDICTIONS.
00:09:33.17\00:09:36.77
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TELLS A
STORY ABOUT A MAN WHO WAS, WELL,
00:09:36.81\00:09:39.64
HE'S THE MOST
LOST MAN IN SCRIPTURE.
00:09:39.67\00:09:42.28
HE'S CALLED THE DEMONIAC OF
DECAPOLIS AND HE LIVED IN THE
00:09:42.31\00:09:45.55
MOUNTAINS BY THE SEA OF GALILEE,
SURROUNDED BY PIGS, LIVING IN A
00:09:45.58\00:09:49.52
CEMETERY, COVERED WITH
CHAINS AND SELF-INFLICTED SCARS.
00:09:49.55\00:09:53.76
HE WENT AROUND
CRYING ALL THE TIME.
00:09:53.79\00:09:55.76
HIS CONDITION LOOKED
HOPELESS. HE WAS FILLED WITH
00:09:55.79\00:09:58.59
A LEGION OF DEMONS.
BUT THEN HE MET JESUS
00:09:58.63\00:10:01.80
AND EVERYTHING CHANGED.
WE'VE WRITTEN A BOOK THAT
00:10:01.83\00:10:04.43
DESCRIBES THIS ENCOUNTER
AND HOW YOU CAN HAVE THE
00:10:04.47\00:10:07.40
SAME EXPERIENCE. IT'S
CALLED BROKEN CHAINS .

LET'S GET BACK TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:10:20.48\00:10:23.45
AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD.
00:10:23.49\00:10:26.65
>>WHAT CAUSES ANGER?
WELL, SOMETIMES, JEALOUSY.
00:10:26.69\00:10:32.73
SOMETIMES WE GET ANGRY
WHEN WE ARE BEING CHALLENGED.
00:10:32.76\00:10:36.20
PETER DENIED CHRIST AND, AFTER
SOMEONE ASKED HIM THE THIRD
00:10:36.23\00:10:39.70
TIME, AND HE KNEW HE WAS WRONG,
HE BEGAN TO SWEAR AND TO CURSE.
00:10:39.73\00:10:47.98
SOMEONE FEELS LIKE THEY'RE
UNAPPRECIATED THEY CAN BECOME
00:10:48.01\00:10:51.85
ANGRY. THAT'S OFTEN - SEVERAL OF
THESE REASONS I'M GIVING YOU ALL
00:10:51.88\00:10:55.48
KIND OF POINT BACK TO
SELFISHNESS AND PRIDE - WHEN OUR
00:10:55.52\00:10:58.35
PRIDE'S OFFENDED WE OFTEN
GET ANGRY - NEGLECT - POTIPHAR'S
00:10:58.39\00:11:03.39
WIFE BECAME ANGRY WHEN JOSEPH
WOULD NOT ACCEPT HER ADVANCES,
00:11:03.43\00:11:07.50
AND SHE WAS WILLING TO SEND HIM
TO JAIL. THEN THERE'S THOSE WHO
00:11:07.50\00:11:12.30
THE ANGER DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL AT
ONCE BUT IT COMES AS A RESULT OF
00:11:12.33\00:11:15.44
STORING THINGS. THEY JUST -
THEY'VE GOT THIS MINI STORAGE
00:11:15.47\00:11:20.71
AND SOME LITTLE
OFFENSE, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
00:11:20.74\00:11:23.28
THEY JUST LET IT GO, BUT THEY
REMEMBER IT AND THEY FILE IT AND
00:11:23.31\00:11:28.12
THEN SOMETHING ELSE
HAPPENS AND THEY FILE IT.
00:11:28.15\00:11:29.62
AND YOU'D NEVER KNOW, BUT
FINALLY THEY - IT'S LIKE YOU GET
00:11:29.65\00:11:33.05
FREQUENT FLIER MILES AND THEN
THEY SEND YOU ON A FREE TRIP
00:11:33.09\00:11:37.96
AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME.
YOU EVER MEET ANYONE LIKE THAT?
00:11:37.99\00:11:42.26
AND SOME PEOPLE, THINGS
HAPPEN AND YOU THINK, 'OH, THEY
00:11:42.30\00:11:44.27
SWALLOWED IT. IT'S
OKAY' BUT, NO, THEY DIDN'T.
00:11:44.30\00:11:47.24
AND THEY'LL
PROCESS IT WITH YOU LATER.
00:11:47.27\00:11:50.27
BUT PRIDE IS A BIG PROBLEM.
1 TIMOTHY 6:4, "HE IS PROUD
00:11:50.31\00:11:54.38
KNOWING NOTHING, BUT IS OBSESSED
WITH DISPUTES AND ARGUMENTS OVER
00:11:54.41\00:11:58.81
WORDS, FROM WHICH COME
ENVY, STRIFE, REVILING, EVIL
00:11:58.85\00:12:02.45
SUSPICIONS," - NOW
WHAT'S THE FALLOUT OF ANGER?
00:12:02.48\00:12:09.22
ANGER DESTROYS COMMUNICATION,
IT GENERATES FEAR, IT SCARS
00:12:09.26\00:12:12.83
RELATIONSHIPS AND, IF THE TRUTH
BE TOLD, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:12:12.86\00:12:16.03
THAT ARE LIVING WITH ANGER
THAT IS BURIED IN THEIR LIVES.
00:12:16.06\00:12:22.80
A LOT OF MARRIAGES HAVE
UNRESOLVED ANGER, AND SO,
00:12:22.84\00:12:27.81
BECAUSE THERE'S NO FORGIVENESS
BECAUSE OF SLIGHTS OR GRIEVANCES
00:12:27.84\00:12:31.15
OR PROBLEMS - AND THEY MIGHT BE
JUSTIFIED - AT ONE TIME IT MIGHT
00:12:31.18\00:12:34.72
HAVE BEEN A RIGHTEOUS
INDIGNATION - BUT YOU'VE NEVER
00:12:34.75\00:12:37.79
LET IT GO; YOU'VE NEVER
FORGIVEN, AND SO YOU CLING TO
00:12:37.82\00:12:40.02
THE ANGER. I'VE MET
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
00:12:40.06\00:12:41.76
ANGRY FOR YEARS
WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAD.
00:12:41.79\00:12:44.96
AND YOU THINK, 'BOY, THAT'S
REALLY SAD.' IT'S LIKE, IF I LET
00:12:44.99\00:12:48.83
GO OF THE ANGER - SOMEONE'S
GOT TO STAY ANGRY AT THEM.
00:12:48.86\00:12:53.47
THEY'RE DEAD.
THEY'RE IN THE GRAVE.
00:12:53.50\00:12:54.74
THEY DON'T KNOW IT. BUT THEY'RE
DESTROYING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR
00:12:54.77\00:12:59.14
ANGER. I READ ABOUT
HOW COSTLY ANGER IS.
00:12:59.17\00:13:05.58
THERE'S A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE
THAT MADE THE MISTAKE OF HITTING
00:13:05.61\00:13:08.62
HIS COACH AND HE LOST A
32 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT.
00:13:08.65\00:13:14.36
ANGER'S EXPENSIVE. SOME
OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN MIKE
00:13:14.39\00:13:16.59
TYSON GOT ANGRY DURING A BOXING
MATCH AND SO, INSTEAD OF JUST
00:13:16.62\00:13:20.96
BOXING WITH EVANDER HOLYFIELD,
HE BIT OFF A PIECE OF HIS EAR.
00:13:21.00\00:13:25.90
WELL, YOU REALIZE HE
LOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
00:13:25.93\00:13:28.30
I HOPE IT TASTED GOOD BECAUSE
THAT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MEAL
00:13:28.34\00:13:32.67
HE'D EVER BOUGHT -
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THAT.
00:13:32.71\00:13:38.05
AND, AGAIN, THAT FLIGHT I
JUST MENTIONED TO YOU OVER THE
00:13:38.08\00:13:40.45
[PACIFIC] -
$12,000.00 FOR A BLANKET.
00:13:40.48\00:13:44.65
YOU KNOW, IF I WAS ON THAT
PLANE, I WOULD HAVE SAID, 'LOOK,
00:13:44.69\00:13:45.99
I'LL PAY FOR YOUR
BLANKET. LET'S JUST KEEP GOING.
00:13:46.02\00:13:48.09
LET'S TAKE UP A COLLECTION.
HOW MANY WILL GIVE 5O
00:13:48.12\00:13:49.79
CENTS FOR THAT BLANKET?
(LAUGHTER) AND LET'S JUST GET TO
00:13:49.82\00:13:52.96
[HAWAII].' - AND TRY AND
CALM THE GUY DOWN, YOU KNOW. YOU
00:13:52.99\00:13:57.63
KNOW, MOSES LOST THE PROMISED
LAND BECAUSE HE LOST HIS TEMPER?
00:13:57.67\00:14:02.97
AND, I SUPPOSE, IF I HAD BEEN
LEADING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
00:14:03.00\00:14:06.01
I PROBABLY WOULD
HAVE LOST IT A LOT SOONER.
00:14:06.04\00:14:08.81
BUT MOSES HAD A TEMPER AND - YOU
REMEMBER, HE KILLED AN EGYPTIAN
00:14:08.84\00:14:12.91
- BURIED HIM IN THE SAND AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE FORTY YEARS.
00:14:12.95\00:14:17.45
AND THEN, AFTER - ACTUALLY,
HE DID THAT WHEN HE WAS 40 YEARS
00:14:17.49\00:14:21.12
OLD - 80 YEARS LATER
HE LOSES HIS TEMPER AGAIN.
00:14:21.16\00:14:23.99
SO YOU MAY BE THINKING, I'VE GOT
IT UNDER CONTROL FOR A WHILE AND
00:14:24.03\00:14:26.39
THEN YOU'VE GOT TO
WALK WITH THE LORD.
00:14:26.43\00:14:29.66
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, YOU
KNOW, I LOSE MY TEMPER BECAUSE
00:14:29.70\00:14:33.03
I'M SPANISH' - 'I'M ITALIAN' -
'I'M IRISH - I'VE GOT RED HAIR'
00:14:33.07\00:14:38.71
- 'I'M ENGLISH' - 'I'M GERMAN' -
YOU NAME IT, PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, I
00:14:38.74\00:14:42.84
CAN'T HELP IT BECAUSE I'M
HUMAN.' YOU EVER HEARD THAT?
00:14:42.88\00:14:47.32
'GOT IT FROM MY MOTHER.' 'GOT
IT FROM MY FATHER.' 'IT'S IN THE
00:14:47.35\00:14:51.19
WATER.' WE'VE ALL GOT EXCUSES
FOR WHY WE LOSE OUR TEMPERS.
00:14:51.22\00:14:56.02
THERE IS NO GOOD EXCUSE BECAUSE
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR TEMPER AND
00:14:56.06\00:15:00.26
WHEN YOU HAVE A TANTRUM, YOU
ARE, AS I SAID, BASICALLY GIVING
00:15:00.30\00:15:04.90
YOURSELF OVER TO THE DEVIL.
YOU'RE CREATING A WINDOW TO DO
00:15:04.93\00:15:09.07
THINGS YOU'LL LATER
REGRET. A BAD TEMPER IS A VERY
00:15:09.10\00:15:13.58
EXPENSIVE COMMODITY.
MOSES WAS NOT ALLOWED TO LEAD
00:15:13.61\00:15:17.95
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL INTO THE
PROMISED LAND BECAUSE HE LOST
00:15:17.98\00:15:21.92
HIS TEMPER AND SAID, "HEAR NOW,
YOU REBELS! MUST WE BRING WATER
00:15:21.95\00:15:26.39
FOR YOU OUT OF THIS ROCK?"
AND THEN HE SMOTE THE ROCK - HE
00:15:26.42\00:15:28.92
BEGAN TO BEAT THE ROCK WITH HIS
STAFF. GOD SAID, 'YOU DID NOT
00:15:28.96\00:15:32.19
HONOR ME BEFORE THE
PEOPLE. I CANNOT USE YOU.'
00:15:32.23\00:15:35.80
HE WAS TO BE A TYPE OF CHRIST.
PROVERBS 25:28, "WHOEVER HAS NO
00:15:35.83\00:15:41.27
RULE OVER HIS OWN SPIRIT IS
LIKE A CITY BROKEN DOWN, WITHOUT
00:15:41.30\00:15:44.04
WALLS." MEANING THE
DEVIL HAS ACCESS TO YOUR LIFE.
00:15:44.07\00:15:47.78
WE NEED WALLS.
YOU NEED SELF CONTROL.
00:15:47.81\00:15:50.08
ECCLESIASTES 7:9, "DO NOT HASTEN
IN YOUR SPIRIT TO BE ANGRY, FOR
00:15:50.11\00:15:56.15
ANGER RESTS IN
THE BOSOM OF FOOLS."
00:15:56.18\00:15:59.62
AND NOTICE HOW SOLOMON SAID
THAT - 'DO NOT HASTEN IN YOUR
00:15:59.65\00:16:02.49
SPIRIT.' HE DOESN'T
SAY YOU SHOULD NEVER
00:16:02.52\00:16:03.73
BE ANGRY, BUT DO NOT HASTEN TO
BE ANGRY - BECAUSE ANGER RESTS -
00:16:03.76\00:16:07.66
THAT MEANS IT STAYS - IN
THE BOSOM OF FOOLS. SOMEONE SAID
00:16:07.66\00:16:13.44
ANGER WILL LESSEN YOUR PERCEIVED
IQ. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT
00:16:13.47\00:16:17.84
THE EMPTIER A POT
IS, THE QUICKER IT BOILS?
00:16:17.87\00:16:21.71
- THE MORE SHALLOW THE WATER IN
THE POT, THE QUICKER IT BOILS.
00:16:21.74\00:16:25.65
IF A PERSON HAS A LITTLE DEPTH,
THEY'RE USUALLY MORE CONTROLLED.
00:16:25.68\00:16:30.82
THOMAS KEMPIS SAID, 'WHEN ANGER
ENTERS THE MIND, WISDOM DEPARTS.
00:16:30.85\00:16:36.26
SOMEONE ELSE SAID, 'AN ANGRY
MAN IS SELDOM REASONABLE AND A
00:16:36.29\00:16:39.63
REASONABLE MAN IS SELDOM ANGRY.'
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL, PEOPLE
00:16:39.66\00:16:44.27
OUT THERE ALWAYS GIVING EVERYONE
ELSE A PIECE OF THEIR MIND - YOU
00:16:44.30\00:16:46.53
KEEP GIVING AWAY ENOUGH PIECES
OF YOUR MIND, YOU HAVE NOTHING
00:16:46.57\00:16:48.37
LEFT. ANGER WILL AFFECT YOUR
IQ. RALPH WALDO EMERSON SAID,
00:16:48.40\00:16:55.24
'WE ALL BOIL, JUST AT DIFFERENT
DEGREES.' SO YOU WANT TO BE
00:16:55.28\00:16:57.95
SLOW. ANGER IS BAD FOR YOUR
HEALTH. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY
00:16:57.98\00:17:03.49
CONSCIOUS ABOUT THE
HEALTH MESSAGE AND THEY WONDER
00:17:03.52\00:17:05.59
WHY THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY.
IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'RE
00:17:05.62\00:17:08.12
EATING, IT'S BECAUSE
OF WHAT'S EATING YOU.
00:17:08.16\00:17:11.63
AND, IF WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO
BE EATEN UP WITH ANGER, YOU CAN
00:17:11.66\00:17:16.53
FOLLOW THE HEALTH MESSAGE,
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SICK.
00:17:16.56\00:17:19.47
ANGRY, CYNICAL PEOPLE DIE YOUNG.
THIS WAS A STUDY THAT WAS DONE
00:17:19.50\00:17:22.37
BACK IN 1989, BUT I
THINK IT'S STILL RELEVANT.
00:17:22.40\00:17:25.24
THEY TESTED A VARIETY OF MEN
AND THOSE WHO SCORED HIGH FOR
00:17:25.27\00:17:28.91
HOSTILITY ON THE STANDARD TESTS
ENDED UP BECOMING FOUR TIMES
00:17:28.94\00:17:33.18
MORE LIKELY TO DIE PREMATURELY
THAN MEN WHOSE SCORES WERE LOW.
00:17:33.21\00:17:38.15
THEY ALSO TOOK ANOTHER 27 MEN
IN CORAL GABLES AND THEY STUDIED
00:17:38.19\00:17:41.59
THEIR HEART/BLOOD DISTRIBUTION
AND THEY ASKED THEM A BUNCH OF
00:17:41.62\00:17:44.89
QUESTIONS AND THEY DID PHYSICAL
TESTS AND MENTAL TESTS AND THEY
00:17:44.93\00:17:48.20
FINALLY SAID, 'THINK ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT MADE YOU REALLY
00:17:48.23\00:17:50.07
ANGRY THAT HAPPENED.' THEY
MEASURED THE HEART WITH ALL
00:17:50.10\00:17:52.73
THESE VERY SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS
AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE ONE
00:17:52.77\00:17:57.91
THING THAT AFFECTED THE
DISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD FROM THE
00:17:57.94\00:18:00.64
HEART TO THE TISSUE THE MOST WAS
WHEN THEY WERE THINKING ANGRY
00:18:00.68\00:18:04.71
THOUGHTS. IT
RELEASED CHEMICALS IN THEIR
00:18:04.75\00:18:07.28
BODY THAT RESTRICTED THE
BLOOD VESSELS AND AFFECTED
00:18:07.32\00:18:10.59
THE FLOW OF THE BLOOD.
THAT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH.
00:18:10.62\00:18:15.62
LIVING IN
SUSTAINED ANGER IS NOT GOOD.
00:18:15.66\00:18:20.13
EPHESIANS 4:26, "...DO NOT LET
THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR WRATH."
00:18:20.16\00:18:24.47
NOW THIS VERSE HAS
SOMETIMES BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD.
00:18:24.50\00:18:27.87
SOMEONE WAS INTERVIEWING AN
OLD TEXAN WHO'D BEEN MARRIED FOR
00:18:27.90\00:18:31.21
SIXTY YEARS AND THEY SAID, 'TO
WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE YOUR LONG
00:18:31.24\00:18:35.24
AND HAPPY MARRIAGE?' HE
SAID, 'WELL, WE DETERMINED
00:18:35.28\00:18:37.31
EARLY ON NEVER TO LET
THE SUN GO DOWN ON OUR WRATH.
00:18:37.35\00:18:41.98
WE WOULDN'T GO TO SLEEP UNTIL WE
RESOLVED OUR DIFFERENCES.' AND
00:18:42.02\00:18:45.62
HE SAID, 'I HAVE TO TELL
YOU, THERE WERE WEEKS WE DIDN'T
00:18:45.65\00:18:47.26
SLEEP.' (LAUGHTER) SO IT
IS A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP SHORT
00:18:47.29\00:18:51.96
ACCOUNTS. BUT, YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU'LL
00:18:51.99\00:18:55.06
FIND, IF YOU DO GO TO
SLEEP, EVEN IF YOU ARE ANGRY, IT
00:18:55.10\00:18:58.20
GOES AWAY IN THE
MORNING. WHAT YOU NEEDED WAS
00:18:58.23\00:19:00.07
A NIGHT'S SLEEP.
SO, A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN
00:19:00.10\00:19:04.41
THERE'S DISPUTES IN FAMILIES OR
MARRIAGES, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT
00:19:04.44\00:19:07.54
BE, REST ON IT AND
THINGS SORT THEMSELVES OUT.
00:19:07.58\00:19:13.95
SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING YOU GET
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND YOU
00:19:13.98\00:19:16.18
REALIZE IT'S
NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.
00:19:16.22\00:19:19.12
DON'T EVER DISCIPLINE
YOUR CHILDREN IN ANGER.
00:19:19.15\00:19:22.19
DON'T EVER LOSE YOUR TEMPER
IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN.
00:19:22.22\00:19:25.99
THREE RULES FOR RAISING CHILDREN
IS EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE.
00:19:26.03\00:19:31.53
THERE WAS AN AUTHOR FOR NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC, HE WAS WRITING AN
00:19:31.57\00:19:34.04
ARTICLE ABOUT THE AMISH PEOPLE.
AND, ONE DAY, AS HE WAS VISITING
00:19:34.07\00:19:38.04
THE AMISH SCHOOL, THE THING THAT
STRUCK HIM WAS THAT NONE OF THE
00:19:38.07\00:19:43.55
CHILDREN IN THE PLAYGROUND EVER
RAISED THEIR VOICES AND YELLED.
00:19:43.58\00:19:47.28
THEY ALL PLAYED IN A
VERY KIND, COOPERATIVE WAY.
00:19:47.32\00:19:51.45
AND HE WENT TO THE SCHOOLMASTER
AND HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, I DON'T
00:19:51.49\00:19:53.02
KNOW IF I'VE EVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE THIS.' HE SAID, 'I DON'T
00:19:53.05\00:19:55.72
EVER SEE ANY OF THE AMISH
CHILDREN YELL AT EACH OTHER.'
00:19:55.76\00:19:59.93
AND THE SCHOOLMASTER SAID, 'HAVE
YOU EVER HEARD AMISH ADULTS
00:19:59.96\00:20:03.16
YELLING AT EACH OTHER?'
HE SAID, 'NO, I HAVEN'T.' HE
00:20:03.20\00:20:07.20
SAYS, 'THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T
HEAR AMISH CHILDREN YELLING
00:20:07.24\00:20:09.27
AT EACH OTHER.' >>WOW.
00:20:09.30\00:20:11.74
>>WHEN YOU SEE KIDS GOING
BALLISTIC IN PUBLIC, YOU WONDER
00:20:11.77\00:20:15.78
WHAT ARE THEY SEEING AT
HOME? NOT ALWAYS, BUT IT
00:20:15.81\00:20:21.18
MAKES YOU WONDER.
NEVER DISCIPLINE YOUR
00:20:21.22\00:20:23.95
CHILDREN IN ANGER.
JEREMIAH 10:24, "O LORD," - THE
00:20:23.99\00:20:28.16
PROPHET PRAYED - "CORRECT ME,
BUT WITH JUSTICE; NOT IN YOUR
00:20:28.19\00:20:32.79
ANGER, LEST YOU
BRING ME TO NOTHING."
00:20:32.83\00:20:34.96
WHAT IF GOD
DISCIPLINED US IN ANGER?
00:20:35.00\00:20:37.13
WELL, HE WILL,
SOMEDAY, FOR THE LOST.
00:20:37.17\00:20:39.47
AND WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THE WRATH OF THE LAMB?
00:20:39.50\00:20:41.94
THEY DON'T SURVIVE.
SO, IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR
00:20:41.97\00:20:44.87
HEAVENLY FATHER TO DISCIPLINE
YOU IN ANGER, YOU DON'T WANT
00:20:44.91\00:20:47.18
TO DISCIPLINE OTHERS IN
ANGER. SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
00:20:47.21\00:20:50.31
WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR
OVERCOMING INAPPROPRIATE ANGER?
00:20:50.35\00:20:53.18
BECAUSE I'VE TOLD YOU THERE'S
A RIGHT TIME TO BE ANGRY.
00:20:53.21\00:20:56.22
ALRIGHT, PATIENCE - ONE
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS.
00:20:56.25\00:21:00.89
IT SAYS IT OVER AND OVER IN
THE BIBLE - PROVERBS 15:18, "A
00:21:00.92\00:21:04.26
WRATHFUL MAN STIRS UP STRIFE,
BUT HE WHO IS SLOW TO ANGER
00:21:04.29\00:21:10.43
ALLAYS CONTENTION." YOU
NOTICE HE SAYS 'SLOW TO ANGER'.
00:21:10.47\00:21:14.24
IT DOESN'T SAY
YOU NEVER HAVE ANGER.
00:21:14.27\00:21:17.14
AGAIN, PROVERBS 16:32, "HE WHO
IS SLOW TO ANGER IS BETTER THAN
00:21:17.17\00:21:21.31
THE MIGHTY, AND HE WHO RULES
HIS SPIRIT THAN HE WHO TAKES A
00:21:21.34\00:21:25.08
CITY." SO YOU
PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT OF
00:21:25.11\00:21:26.85
GOD TO GIVE YOU
PATIENCE AND SELF-RULE.
00:21:26.88\00:21:30.25
DO YOU KNOW THE PHRASE 'SLOW TO
ANGER' IS MENTIONED NINE TIMES
00:21:30.29\00:21:32.72
IN THE BIBLE? IT
DOESN'T SAY DON'T BE ANGRY,
00:21:32.75\00:21:35.02
IT SAYS 'SLOW TO ANGER'.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
00:21:35.06\00:21:38.39
YOU'VE GOT THE
REAL REASON TO BE ANGRY.
00:21:38.43\00:21:40.66
AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAD AN
INTERESTING HABIT: ONE TIME HIS
00:21:40.70\00:21:46.10
SECRETARY, STANTON, CAME TO
HIM AND HE WAS JUST OUTRAGED BY
00:21:46.13\00:21:49.27
SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE IN THE
GOVERNMENT HAD DONE AND LINCOLN
00:21:49.30\00:21:52.17
SAID, 'I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO WRITE A LETTER AND TELL HIM
00:21:52.21\00:21:54.61
EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL.' SO
STANTON SPENT A DAY AND A HALF
00:21:54.64\00:21:57.41
WRITING THIS LETTER. HE
BROUGHT IT TO LINCOLN AND
00:21:57.45\00:21:59.21
SAID, 'SO, SHOULD I MAIL IT
NOW?' HE SAID, 'NO, DON'T MAIL
00:21:59.25\00:22:01.72
IT.' HE SAID, 'THROW IT AWAY
NOW.' HE SAID, 'YOU PROBABLY
00:22:01.75\00:22:04.29
ALREADY FEEL MUCH BETTER.'
HE SAYS, 'NOW WRITE ONE THAT'S
00:22:04.32\00:22:07.16
DISCREET AND DIPLOMATIC.'
HAVE YOU EVER DONE THAT?
00:22:07.19\00:22:11.83
SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING
OR MISTREATS YOU OR THEY DO
00:22:11.86\00:22:15.10
SOMETHING INCONSIDERATE AND YOU
TYPE OUT AN E-MAIL AND THERE'S
00:22:15.13\00:22:19.57
JUST SMOKE COMING
OFF THE KEYS, YOU KNOW?
00:22:19.60\00:22:22.34
AND YOU HAVE ALL THE RIGHT
WORDS AND YOU LOOK AT IT AND THE
00:22:22.37\00:22:29.44
LONGER YOU LOOK AT IT YOU THINK,
'WELL, MAYBE I OUGHT TO CHANGE
00:22:29.48\00:22:32.05
THAT WORD.' WELL, I DON'T NEED
THAT LINE IN THERE, I'LL DELETE
00:22:32.08\00:22:36.28
THAT ONE AND' - DON'T EVER SEND
AN E-MAIL WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY,
00:22:36.32\00:22:40.32
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T UNDELETE - YOU
CAN'T UNSEND, YOU KNOW WHAT I
00:22:40.36\00:22:43.46
MEAN? AND YOU SEND
SOMETHING WHEN YOUR
00:22:43.49\00:22:47.96
BLOOD'S BOILING AND LATER YOU
SAY, 'OH, I OVERREACTED AND NOW
00:22:47.96\00:22:53.54
THAT PERSON WILL
NEVER BE A FRIEND AGAIN.
00:22:53.57\00:22:55.94
ALL I NEEDED TO DO WAS THINK
ABOUT IT A LITTLE MORE.' WRITE
00:22:55.97\00:22:58.37
THE LETTER, BUT
USE A PENCIL AND PAPER.
00:22:58.41\00:23:01.44
DON'T DO IT ON YOUR KEYBOARD,
YOU MIGHT BUMP THE SEND BUTTON.
00:23:01.48\00:23:04.11
(LAUGHTER) JAMES 1:19, "...LET
EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW
00:23:04.15\00:23:09.68
TO SPEAK, SLOW TO WRATH; FOR THE
WRATH OF MAN DOES NOT PRODUCE
00:23:09.72\00:23:14.36
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
GOD." PRAY WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY.
00:23:14.39\00:23:20.96
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY YOU
WILL FEEL LIKE PRAYING THE LEAST
00:23:20.96\00:23:26.03
BUT IT IS WHEN YOU
FEEL LIKE PRAYING THE MOST.
00:23:26.07\00:23:29.60
IT DOESN'T HELP IF THE PERSON
YOU'RE ANGRY AT - IF THEY'RE
00:23:29.64\00:23:33.21
ASKING YOU TO PRAY,
BUT YOU MAY NEED TO.
00:23:33.24\00:23:38.21
CLAIM THE PROMISES OF GOD.
00:23:38.25\00:23:39.75
THE BIBLE'S FULL OF EXCEEDING
GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES LIKE
00:23:39.78\00:23:42.72
GALATIANS 2:20, "I HAVE BEEN
CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST" - IT'S
00:23:42.75\00:23:46.42
HARD TO BE ANGRY WHEN YOU
REALIZE, 'HEY, JESUS DIED ON A
00:23:46.45\00:23:49.32
CROSS FOR THIS PERSON'S SINS.
HE DIED ON A CROSS FOR MY SIN.
00:23:49.36\00:23:52.66
WHAT RIGHT DO I HAVE
TO BE SO ANGRY AT THEM?'
00:23:52.69\00:23:55.80
YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT HELPS
ME NOT BE ANGRY WITH PEOPLE?
00:23:55.83\00:23:58.87
I HEAR ABOUT FOLKS WHO SAY
THEY'RE ANGRY AT GOD AND, IF YOU
00:23:58.90\00:24:03.97
TRUST THAT GOD IS GOOD, YOU CAN
USUALLY WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH
00:24:04.01\00:24:06.37
THAT. BUT WHEN YOU
GET ANGRY AT PEOPLE
00:24:06.41\00:24:09.01
- I THINK ABOUT THAT PARABLE
IN MATTHEW 18, OF THE UNMERCIFUL
00:24:09.04\00:24:12.91
DEBTOR WHO IS FORGIVEN TEN
THOUSAND TALENTS AND GOD HAS
00:24:12.95\00:24:19.99
FORGIVEN US SO MUCH THAT WHAT
RIGHT DO I HAVE FOR THE LITTLE
00:24:20.02\00:24:23.22
OFFENSES THAT WE
HAVE WITH EACH OTHER?
00:24:23.26\00:24:25.79
THE OTHER THING THAT HELPS ME IS
I REMEMBER THAT THE LORD LOVES
00:24:25.83\00:24:29.50
EVERYBODY AND SINNERS ARE GOING
TO DO DIABOLICAL THINGS BECAUSE
00:24:29.53\00:24:33.50
THEY'RE BEING
TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL.
00:24:33.54\00:24:34.94
SO, IF PEOPLE DO DEVILISH
THINGS, THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED IF
00:24:34.97\00:24:38.61
THEY'RE LOST. YOU'VE GOT
TO LOVE EVEN THOSE PEOPLE.
00:24:38.64\00:24:41.18
JESUS SAID 'LOVE
YOUR ENEMIES' - RIGHT?
00:24:41.21\00:24:43.71
HE DIDN'T SAY 'BE ANGRY AT
THEM.' 'GIVE THEM A PIECE OF
00:24:43.75\00:24:46.92
YOUR MIND.' "A SOFT ANSWER TURNS
AWAY WRATH" - PROVERBS 15:1 -
00:24:46.95\00:24:55.06
THERE'S AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE
OF THIS IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES,
00:24:55.09\00:24:57.59
CHAPTER 8. GIDEON,
WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING
00:24:57.63\00:25:00.06
AGAINST THE MIDIANITES, HE DID
NOT CALL THE TRIBE OF EPHRAIM TO
00:25:00.10\00:25:04.00
GO WITH HIM TO BATTLE AND THEY
FELT LEFT OUT OF THE VICTORY.
00:25:04.03\00:25:06.70
THEY, ON THEIR OWN, THEY WENT
OUT AND THEY FOUGHT AGAINST THE
00:25:06.74\00:25:09.17
PRINCES OF THE MIDIANITES AND
THEY WERE GOING TO, NOW, HAVE A
00:25:09.20\00:25:13.74
CIVIL WAR WITH GIDEON. AND
IT SAYS - I'M READING, NOW,
00:25:13.78\00:25:17.25
JUDGES 8:1, "NOW THE MEN
OF EPHRAIM ...REPRIMANDED HIM
00:25:17.28\00:25:21.68
SHARPLY. SO HE
SAID TO THEM, 'WHAT HAVE
00:25:21.72\00:25:24.95
I DONE NOW IN
COMPARISON WITH YOU?
00:25:24.99\00:25:27.09
IS NOT THE GLEANING OF THE
GRAPES OF EPHRAIM BETTER THAN
00:25:27.12\00:25:29.22
THE VINTAGE OF ABIEZER?
GOD HAS DELIVERED INTO YOUR
00:25:29.26\00:25:32.13
HANDS THE PRINCES OF
MIDIAN, OREB AND ZEEB.
00:25:32.16\00:25:35.10
AND WHAT WAS I ABLE TO
DO IN COMPARISON WITH YOU?'
00:25:35.13\00:25:37.40
THEN THEIR ANGER TOWARD HIM
SUBSIDED WHEN HE SAID THAT."
00:25:37.43\00:25:41.77
HE GAVE THEM A GENTLE DELICATE
SOFT ANSWER AND IT DEFUSED THE
00:25:41.80\00:25:47.78
WHOLE THING THAT COULD
HAVE TURNED INTO A CIVIL WAR.
00:25:47.81\00:25:51.18
GRIEVOUS WORDS STIR UP STRIFE.
IF YOU'RE IN AN ARGUMENT WITH
00:25:51.21\00:25:54.35
SOMEBODY AND, EVEN IN YOU'RE
RIGHT, YOU MIGHT NEED TO LOOK
00:25:54.38\00:25:57.59
YOUR EYES DOWN AND SAY,
'YOU KNOW, I'LL LISTEN TO THAT.
00:25:57.62\00:25:59.82
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.'
AND JUST LET A PERSON VENT
00:25:59.85\00:26:03.43
SOMETIMES. DON'T
FEEL LIKE YOU'VE GOT TO
00:26:03.46\00:26:05.09
TELL THEM HOW WRONG THEY ARE.
A SOFT ANSWER - IN MARRIAGES -
00:26:05.13\00:26:12.67
A SOFT ANSWER TURNS AWAY
WRATH. PSALM 46:10, "BE STILL,
00:26:12.70\00:26:17.87
AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE REASON
00:26:17.91\00:26:22.11
THAT YOU AND I HAVE HOPE OF
SALVATION IS BECAUSE, AFTER THE
00:26:22.14\00:26:26.21
DEVIL DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO
GET JESUS TO REACT AT THE CROSS,
00:26:26.25\00:26:32.19
THROUGH HIS TRIAL - THROUGH HIS
TORTURE - THEY DID EVERYTHING
00:26:32.22\00:26:35.42
THEY COULD TO PROVOKE CHRIST.
YOU NAME SOMETHING THAT CAN BE
00:26:35.46\00:26:37.96
DONE TO MAKE A PERSON LOSE
IT AND JESUS NEVER LOST IT.
00:26:37.99\00:26:43.16
BECAUSE HE DID NOT LOSE HIS
TEMPER, WE CAN FIND SALVATION.
00:26:43.20\00:26:48.70
AND SO, HE SET AN EXAMPLE
FOR US. HE WAS THINKING ABOUT US
00:26:48.74\00:26:53.54
WHEN HE KEPT HIS COOL.
JESUS DIDN'T COME TO MAKE US
00:26:53.58\00:26:58.15
STRESS, HE CAME
TO GIVE US PEACE.
00:26:58.18\00:27:00.15
HE SAYS, 'PEACE I GIVE TO YOU,
NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES, GIVE I
00:27:00.18\00:27:02.55
UNTO YOU.' 'LET NOT YOUR HEART
BE TROUBLED.' 'BE ANXIOUS FOR
00:27:02.58\00:27:07.32
NOTHING.' 'FEAR NOT.' SO MANY
TIMES PEOPLE ARE ANGRY BECAUSE
00:27:07.36\00:27:11.36
THEY JUST - THEY
DON'T HAVE PEACE.
00:27:11.39\00:27:13.93
AND THE LORD IS GIVING YOU
A PEACE THAT THE WORLD DOESN'T
00:27:13.96\00:27:16.80
UNDERSTAND - A PEACE
THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING.
00:27:16.83\00:27:20.27
I WANT THAT PEACE, DON'T YOU?
