Key Element for Thriving Relationships-Anger Management

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Key Element for Thriving Relationships is Anger Management.

The goal of anger management is to control our temper and prevent destructive things from happening in our relationships.

The Bible has a lot to say about managing anger in a way that honors God. James 1:19 and 20 says that everyone should be slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Ephesians 4:26 says, “In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry and do not give the devil a foothold.”

There are proper times to get angry such as when God’s laws are violated or when someone is hurt by injustice. But it is important to be guided by God rather than controlled by anger. Then, we will be equipped to manage our anger in constructive ways.

Anger Management is a key element for thriving relationships that honor God.
