Emphasis Preaching Journal

I once knew a person who was never angry. At least he never seemed to be angry. He had, I later discovered, as much anger within him as you or I; but he believed his anger was wrong, unacceptable to God. So he kept it bottled-up inside. A pressure cooker, he finally exploded. All that pent-up anger burst forth in a flash of self-destructive emotion. Ephesians doesn't say, "Do not be angry." Ephesians says, "Do not let the sun go down on your anger." Anger unexpressed is anger stored up, hoarded.
