Winning in the Arena of Emotion

46 minutes

Sermon by Dr. Robert Lewis

10/22/2000

Our opponent is anger.

Anger is energy that is focused. It can rally you the right way or the wrong way.

Three specific types of anger:

Righteous anger - right reaction, right response

Misplaced anger - right reaction, wrong response

Problematic anger - wrong reaction, wrong response

From anger to angry -- why?

Angry people come from angry families.

Angry people come from wounded backgrounds.

Angry people are often "control freaks" using anger for protection or gain.

Angry people have serious, unmet expectations and feel trapped.

Angry people are most often men.

Action points for taking the gold:

For those who are angered

Don't go hot or cold, learn to express yourself directly.

Listen and be willing to forgive.

Be quick about it.

Memorize Eph 4:25-27

For those who stay angry

Admit you have an anger problem.

Find the root cause.

Be courageous and willing to change whatever behavior fuels that anger.

Enlist the support of others.

Ask for God's help.
