How to Overcome Temptation, Part 108 (Anger and Wrath) (Onward Christian Soldiers #232)
TEXT: Matthew 5:21-26
Under the leadership of Christ, we are called to not only abstain from evil behavior, but to abstain from evil in our hearts and minds regarding murder and anger. While the punishment is obviously not the same, anger makes us just as guilty before God as murder does. As we have seen, before anger leads to murder, it almost always leads to harsh, ungodly language. Jesus says, "Whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."
