Rage: Understanding the Monster Within, Part 2
Everyone struggles with anger - period! We struggle in different ways: some blow up, some spew, and some repress. So, is it really possible to keep anger from getting the best of us? Join Chip as he uncovers what causes our anger, and what we can do to keep it under control.Introduction: James 1:19-20A look at anger from God’s perspective:Definition: Anger is neither good nor bad; it is a “charged,” morally neutral, emotional response of protective preservation.Positively – It can be a healthy emotion that motivates us to correct attitudes, behaviors, or injustices that we perceive to be wrong. -Eph 4:26-27Negatively – It can be an unhealthy and destructive emotional response to protect us from (real or perceived) hurt, frustration, or personal attack. -Pro. 19:19; 22:24; 29:22Anger wears many masks: We EXPRESS our ANGER in such a wide variety of ways that many people assume anger is not an issue in their life.Spewers: Anger is necessary – They’re exploding or calculating time bombsStuffers: Anger is wrong – They deny and avoid OR pretend and ignoreLeakers: Showing anger is wrong – They’re passive-aggressiveBroadcast ResourceOvercoming Emotions that Destroy ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsOvercoming Emotions that Destroy Small Group OfferConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided.
