Losing Your Temper -- Wednesday, April 28th

Tonight we finished our series on How to Be a FOOL. We talked about Numbers 22:23-33 in which Balaam becomes angry when his donkey keeps doing things that he doesn't want it to. He beats the donkey until it has its mouth opened and tells him he was just trying to protect Balaam from death. Anger makes us lose control. It happens when we are frustrated, feel alone, feel hut, don't understand what is happening, feel like something ins't fair, or when we see it demonstrated to us. Anger can hurt hose around us,e ven though they don't deserve it. Ephesians 4:26-27 tells us to not sin when we are angry. Anger is an emotion, it just happens, what is important is how we deal with that emotion. So we spelled out a wise way of dealing with anger:
W ave goodbye to angry people
I nvite God to help
S earch and destroy the root (why you get mad)
E liminate bad responses

I Give Tonight: A+
Favorite Moment: The Play (Cody and Dillion)
