ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
We talked about anger, and I shared a personal story about my issues with anger. It was based on a reminder from Borg in this message below.
Borg posted this in the 3rd F channel today, and as someone who has struggled with anger in the past, I thought this as worthy to share here.
Emotion and logic create a spectrum. A man must prepare for his anger by knowing that the more emotional he is, the less likely it is that he is thinking logically. That is a fact. A man who accepts that fact is better able to push aside the emotion (which is difficult, but entirely his choice from within himself) and listen to hard words (from outside of who he is) even when he is really pissed off. The Bible shares some “wisdom without ideological borders” on this: The verse from James, below, speaks for itself. I would guess that we all can look back on a time we can’t fix where we let our anger do the walking and the results were not good.
“You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” James 1:19
For the verse below, if you don’t believe in sin, listen to the ancients, who I used to sit with at the city gates. They would tell me,
“When you are angry, do not be a jackass.” (They knew me so well.)
The Bible phrases it differently.
“In your anger do not sin.” Ephesians 4:26
Simple to write, but not easy to execute well. That is one reason we do hard things together, so we get better together.
