Glad to see you! They are talking about evil now. When you get angry and turn to rage it morphs into all kinds of horrible things. ANY ANGER is evil. He gives an example of a man who attended his church who Jesse called evil once because he had so much anger at his father and the guy said "I'm not Hitler" and Jesse said that isn't the point. Anger is wrong no matter how much you have. It is not something you can control its something you overcome.

David says we don't have a clue what Jesus was like. WHat it is like to give up anger. Geesh, I wish I could give up anger. I hardly know I have it, in denial too much.

This discussion about anger is something we need to hear if we are going to survive this onslaught in America. Anger depletes your energy (I know this for sure!) and blinds you. That must be why good wins because anger blinds you to the truth, to reality and the good people are in reality when they do things...not some fantasy land.....

Kupelian talks about this in “How Evil Works.” We think a little bit of anger or hatred or envy is justified, but we’re wrong ... it’s still evil. It’s resisting God, in a way.

I struggle with anger, too, but the “Be Still and Know” CD is already helping, because it reminds me that little bit of anger or irritation, over someting that may be legitimate, is really hatred, and I have to reject it instead of embracing it.

Good morning. I have a little time this morning but our internet is down so I am at Starbuck. Can not listen over the music! Sounds like a good show...glad there is a new board op there, they really needed him badly.
I noticed about anger, that it is the small irritations that people do live off of and is what we need to watch and let pass. Those are the fuel of our original anger and it will die out the more we notice them and let them pass. It’s not neccessarily and often not the big angers...those we see clearly but those little ones we tend to operate from. got to go!
