Thank you so much for sharing!
I thank you for this conversation. My hope is that this continues because how can we share the Gospel. I will be 70 years old and we as the body of Christ is at a crossroad, which way we choose?
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
C. S. Lewis
I do believe we have to be even more nuanced when speaking about anger. I think it's poor theology to always frame it negatively. Emotions serve a purpose and are not bad in and of themselves. Whether they are constructive or destructive depends on how they are channelled. The bible says 'be angry but do not sin'. We SHOULD be angry at injustice, it just can't be our sole motivator or be allowed to linger long enough to become bitterness or resentment. Anger must be tempered by God's love and wisdom so that it does not become counter-productive. That in itself takes God's grace. May the Holy Spirit help us who profess Christ to walk this out as best we can.
