After God's Heart | Unchecked Anger | Dr. Matt Gillum

1 Samuel 25:9-35

1. Despite our best efforts to work with them, sometimes people are just jerks.
2. When a person is wronged, it is natural and not sinful to feel anger.
3. Peacemakers go above and beyond to spare the most people.
4. Your first reaction doesn’t have to be your last reaction.

“ Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter. As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence. If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in your struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.” Martin Luther King Jr.
