Sin's Kryptonite (Part 2 - Wrath)


"In your anger do not sin"
Ephesians 4:26a

          Who doesn't get angry on occasion, right?  Well anger, or more correctly wrath (the feeling of anger acted upon) can become enough of a problem for people that its impact upon human life can be deadly.  Not simply through murder and war, but anger/wrath can even be deadly for the person harboring the emotion!  With such a dangerous predicament on our hands, what can be done to neutralize this deadly sin?  The answer is simple, forgiveness.

          Of course as the saying goes, easier said than done, right?  So what advice does the Bible give us to turn this good advice into practical and helpful practice?  Well if I told you that, then you wouldn't need to listen to the sermon!  Suffice it to say that our faith as Christians definitely offers simple and easy tips toward overcoming anger before we find ourselves being drastically transformed into this guy!
