Christian Quotes - Anger






When you resort to shouting in conflict, you are reacting in the flesh. You have lost control of the only person you can control: yourself.

Is it any merit to abstain from wine if one is intoxicated with anger?

Augustine
Works and Biography




A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good. Now and then a man should be shaken to the core with indignation over things evil.

Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God.

George F. McDougall




Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.

I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

Max Lucado

Sometimes it is easier to hide behind self rejection and loathing rather than deal with specific areas of sin that the Lord points out to us. But what is easier often becomes a snare, never allowing us to truly take personal responsibility for our actions. For example, it can be easier to say, "I am a horrible person and utterly hopeless, so why even try?" than to say. "I repent of my selfish anger and with God's grace, choose to work with Him so I no longer live in this anger any longer"

Katherine Walden




Be ye angry, and sin not; therefore all anger is not sinful, because some degree of it, and on some occasions, is inevitable. But it becomes sinful and contradicts the rule of Scripture when it is conceived upon slight and inadequate provocation, and when it continues long.

William Paley
Biography




What we need today is not anger but anguish, the kind of anguish that Moses displayed when he broke the two tablets of the law and then climbed the mountain to intercede for his people, or that Jesus displayed when He cleansed the temple and then wept over the city. The difference between anger and anguish is a broken heart. It's easy to get angry, especially at somebody else's sins; but it's not easy to look at sin, our own included, and weep over it.

Warren W. Wiersbe
Biography and Daily Devotional




Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savour to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back - in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.

Frederick Buechner
Short Biography




Be awed that in our unrighteous anger God reveals the depth of His love on our behalf. It is a heart that is willing to feel angry enough to battle with God that will be surprised into praise. And nothing, but nothing, is the cure for anger like the wonder of grace. It is praise for His grace even in the light of our impotency to eradicate our unrighteous anger that leads, in time, to waiting for God's wrath rather than seeking revenge today.

Dan Allender
The Path Less Chosen




Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry.

Temper is what gets most of us into trouble. Pride is what keeps us there.
