Wow! It must have been transformative then! I have gained ground but must be on guard. Anger can creep in so quickly like a torrent. 😢I have not yet conquered, but I can say He has heard my cries for help in this area and has made me aware of triggers. I have a choice in how I react.
audreyben-david1424 - me too- for whatever reason, though, GOD knew exactly what he was doing when HE wired-up our emotions the way HE did. HE doesn't make mistakes, and HE doesn't make junk. I will pray for you. Please pray for me
Anger stems from: 1) Disappointment 2) Failure to achieve goals 3) Pain or hurt (physical or emotional) Solution: Discipline to calmly look at what’s behind or underneath the anger Two types of anger: 1) Misdirected (releasing build up of anger) 2) Situational (eg accidents, traffic, etc) Solution: make sure anger is directed properly and proportionally
Okay I'll pop in for my generation and I'm goin buy the house saygs-on to college for MY too but I'm it th familyatsorry you I' In sorry took you long assuming a fewer and her
“He that is slow to anger has great understanding.” I’m personally seeking the understanding I need in this area, and learning. That’s what disciples do, they learn. 😞😞😞. RC is a gift to the church.
RC Sproul. I miss him!😢 I remember listening to this teaching in the radio 📻 years ago, is a matter of fact, I have it on tape cassette. The subject matter. I have wrestled with this emotion😠 😡👿😤 🗯 since childhood. Thankfully through Messiah I have been able to gain better control of it but not perfectly. It was on displsy recently but was quick to forgive and was forgiven. ❤❤
The Bible tells us ,"His Word will not return to him void but will acomplish that for which it was sent. Thankful for the ministers who teach and preach Gods Word. Bro Sproul had a special way to deliver and he belived what he preached. Love Gods Word. thanks for posting it.
My pride gets me in a lot of trouble. It takes a lot of humility to say I am feeling very hurt because you ___________________ . My pride based tendency is to verbally lash out to inflict pain back at that person.
Great Sermon Mr Sproul as I have deal with Anger throughout my life!I Try to stay in James 1 Chapter Verse 19:Be swift to hear,slow to speak, slow to wrath!God bless you all!❤
Thank you so much for sharing this! I really needed this today. God is teaching me how to deal with my anger and this helped a lot. Half way through this teaching I stopped and wrote this poem and figured I might as well share it with you: I wanted to be sweet, I wanted to be loving, I forgave her of her sins and held her in my arms, I kissed her and said, "I love you and I forgive you." She accepted my loving embrace and came to me with joy. But in the darkness of the night she turned her back on me; she again broke my commands and disobeyed my instruction; she said in her heart, "I will not listen, I will go my own way." In my anger I struck her, in my rage I brought wrath upon her. With the rod I struck her and with my foot I kicked her. I said, "I hate you!" The love I once had has now turned to anger and rage. I wept and cried, the love in my heart has turned to rage; the joy in my heart has turned to anger. I cried out to my God, "Save me from this darkness! My heart has turned black on account of her transgression, I cannot control myself; anger has become my master." In my tears He comforted me, in my lowly state He held me. He said, "Forgive her once more and you also will be forgiven; For just as she has transgressed your commands, so too have you transgressed my commands. Follow me and listen to my instruction and you will be made whole again; follow me and I will turn your darkness into light." (It's about one of my dogs)
I’m so prideful that I get angry with myself all the time for not upholding some lofty standard of perfection for myself. This anger melts into a bitterness throughout the day that is utterly ridiculous. This sermon is really helping me depend on the Lord for overcoming my fleshy nature. Man it’s so easy to put God aside sometimes, I hope you’re all putting your faith in God and not relying on yourself to overcome your flesh.
I’m sorry I responded to your comment but it was deleted. But thank you for your comment brother and for the encouragement 🙏🏼. I will keep you in my prayers , I really mean that. 🫶🏼
At first, it was beyond me that any rational human being could not like this magnificent treatment of God’s answer to anger, until it hit me how revealing it is of where angry people’s hearts are really at.
ANGER keeps me warm on winter days when I don't wear a coat. It removes shyness as I can preach and talk about Jesus fearlessly. Anger removes the fear of physical death and pain and helps me to work out longer when I'm already tired. Lord thank you for covering my back when I blow it from time to time.
One of his best talks.. I'd go even further and say we ought to eliminate anger with others. Jesus and the Father can handle being angry that we cannot. "Be angry and not sin" in that context cannot include anger with a brother as in the same passage we are told to put off all anger and wrath. I'd suggest it's better to direct anger at things or at evils, but not people. I think that's the wise advice of Dallas Willard and Sproul refered to wisdom....it's not a legalism
Your welcome sis! I think we all need to hear this truth. And yes he sure is missed. Praise God that his sermons are available for us to watch and listen to even after he has passed. ❤️
Here are some things I get angry about: - People using ungodly speech/cursing - Playing music loud in public at gas stations or or on the road at stoplights Basically, unrestrained lawlessness/no boundaries in people’s behavior under the mantra “do what thou wilt”. Sometimes I feel like the distaste for it is Spirit-led. Am I wrong?
This is priceless! Thank you for posting! 1. Am I the only one who thinks most people drive too slow? 2. Am I the only one who thinks most people are completely oblivious that others exist and their feelings matter? 3. Am I the only one who thinks most people are becoming increasingly rude each year?
I try to not get angry with non believers and other religions when the historical, empirical, and true scientific data all points that the scripture has been right all along. But some of these folks are making it needlessly difficult.
I agree , sometimes it seems like they go way out of their way to make an argument against the God of the Bible just for argument sake… the Bible makes it clear that everyone knows the God of the Bible is real. I have no doubt this is true. But it is frustrating at times when they will say the craziest things to be true but argue that there is even a God. Like why is it so hard for you to accept the God of the Bible to be credible? 🤷🏻♀️ it seems some would rather believe that aliens are our “ god “ rather then believe the proof that is all around us.
Ty for sharing Patricia! My sister that passed away due to drugs/asthma and domestic violence, her name was Patricia as well. Much Love ❤️ You’re my sister in Christ! Not in a way that I know any details about you but just knowing you Love Christ is all the details I need to know. Peace & Blessings to you and your family I pray in Jesus name. 🫡🙏
Amen brother 🤗🙌🏼 you are so welcome. I’m sorry to hear about your sister Patricia 😔 I pray that you continue to find comfort in the Lord. God bless you Bro , you and your family will be in my prayers, I really mean that.
Pray and stay in the word Brother. That is my only answer I can give myself and anyone else who struggles with anything. I find the more I pray , read the word, watch God glorifying sermons , and read biblical books on theology... that it makes self control a lil easier . because when we fill our minds and hearts with more of Him , then we have less room for the things that don't glorify Him. God bless you I know I am responding super late , I apologize . I do hope you are doing well :)
I was disappointed by this, I thought when it started it was going somewhere far more profound. Just ends up being some unoriginal generic overview of anger with very little practical steps as to 'how to deal with anger'. A complete waste of time.
I’m sorry that you feel that way brother , I pray you find what you are seeking in regards to how to deal with anger. I understand, we all go through different things in life and have different experiences with different people. Therefore our tolerance will be at different levels. I remember at one point in my life feeling the same when I would hear people talk about their experiences with “ not so difficult people “ that they thought were extremely difficult. I felt the same . I did however feel convicted and later repented based on the fact that I was given biblical ways to deal with anger and I felt it wasn’t good enough because I felt that I had bigger issues then them and my anger was past the point of their solutions. It is God who saves us , and as long as we have breath in our lungs , we have time to repent and pray for strength to endure till the end. I will pray for you Brother.
@@Patricia22984 Thanks, I really appreciate this comment. Someone probably should pray for me, I don't usually get the answers I want, when I do it myself. I'm glad you've made progress with your own dealings with anger also. Hey, life sure can be tough.
Please pray for me. For years, a group of people has been constantly plotting against me and trying to harm me and ruin my life. I struggle with so much anger because of the things they have done. Please pray for my protection and for a stop to the things they are trying to do to me including things they are trying to plan in the months ahead. Thank you.
Oh wow that’s awful, I’m so sorry that you are experiencing that. I will be praying for you daily , I truly mean that. I pray that you are not only able to control your anger, but also that you are able to remove yourself from not only the situation, but the individuals involved in causing you this pain. Please, if you need to talk you can email me at pattyjohnson31@hotmail.com. God bless you.
Hey there 😊 I’m not sure if this is what you are talking about but I found this series on the Ligonier site www.ligonier.org/learn/series/anger/gods-furious-anger/.
Hello Angela 😊 amen, glory to God 🙌🏼 I apologize I personally do not have the whole teaching series to upload 😞 but if you go to Ligonier Ministries website or even download the app there is much more there. God bless you
Give the pain to the lord and dont bottle it up. Go talk to friends and talk about it. And sing songs of praise! But keep in Gods word and leader like rc sproul will help you from right to wrong. And stay away from charismatic teacher who tell you wrong things.
Rest in Glory R.C.! First time watching this sermon by R.C. on anger because I'm to the point in my own life where I'm extremely impatient, anxiety ridden, and really quick to get angry & end up cursing. I can't stand it anymore & I just want to have true peace & joy. I just want the anger to go away. Please help me Lord!
I have been there too brother, more times than I’d like to admit. I will keep you in my prayers. I pray you stay strong in the Lord and continue to fight the good fight.
