Most of us picture the great people of the Bible as quiet, contemplative characters of near absolute perfection. After all, don’t we read that Moses was a man of a mild temper? “Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth” (Numbers 12:3). In the King James Version it says Moses was “meek,” meaning mild-tem...
On another occasion the people complained again about the need for water. Moses impatiently lashed out at them (Numbers 20:1-12). Notice, too, that Moses said, “Must we bring water for you out of this rock?” (verse 10). He was not giving God the credit and the glory. God had given him instructions of exactly what to do (verses 7-8). God had told Mo...

The Bible calls them Boanerges, meaning, “Sons of Thunder.” Apparently they had the proclivity to “blow their stacks” on occasion. This was the name Jesus gave them when He was choosing His 12 apostles (Mark 3:17). Perhaps the following exam...
Peter was another example of a man susceptible to instant fury. He sliced off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest’s servant, during the arrest of Christ. Jesus immediately corrected him and healed the servant (John 18:10-11). Peter was either a very accurate marksman with his sword—being able to hit such a small target as an ear—or a rather p...
Yet another example of someone with anger issues is Jonah. God had sent Jonah to warn the people of Nineveh—his people’s mortal enemies—that God was going to destroy them for their sins. But when God accepted Nineveh’s pleas and spared them, Jonah lost his temper and got mad at God. How could God go back on the prophecy He had forced Jonah to give?...

Consider some more wise advice about how to manage anger from the Bible. “The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression” (Proverbs 19:11). In other words, a wise man restrains his anger and overlooks insults. This is to his credit. There are two points to consider here. 1. A wise man will have more fr...
It is challenging to control our anger in this age that is noted for its rage and anger. The apostle Paul prophesied of today’s prevalent lack of self-control when writing to Timothy: “You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian. For people will love only themselves and their mone...
1. Restrain It. Proverbs 29:11 tells us that “Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.”. This scripture does not mean that the wise bury their anger or do not deal with it, but it means that they control their anger and how they express it. When you restrain your anger, you keep it within limits. 2.

Mar 20, 2016 · 4. Deal radically and decisively with all of your sinful anger. The command of verse 8 parallels that of verse 5, where Paul said to put these sins to death. “Put them aside,” was used of taking off a garment. In Colossians 3:12-14, Paul commands us to put on many godly behaviors, summarized by love. “Putting off” and “putting on ...
