I am still on a roll with the series Radically Different. This is the series where I am taking a look at Jesus' Words and how we can also live radically different lives as we practise them. Here is a portion of Scripture that has intrigued me since I was a teenager.
Now this Scripture incriminates just about everyone on the planet ! The purpose of this series is not to condemn anyone. God knows I need help myself daily ! But I was inspired to do this series because it is easy, even for those of us who call ourselves Christians, to lose sight of what Jesus said and live our lives by logical human wisdom which really in God's eyes is no wisdom at all.
What is Jesus saying ? Anger is dangerous. We will be tempted many times to get angry but even then we're supposed to exercise self-control (a fruit of the Spirit as seen in Galatians 5).
Anger should not control us . We have to control anger. Why ? I already quoted the reason why from Matthew 5:21-22 so that you'll see that it's not just me saying it !
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. God bless you.

First of all, I love the name of your blog!!! And I love, love, love this post. As a kid my parents had me memorize Matthew 5-7 and this verse (and that whole series of "you have heard it was said..." have always really stuck with me. This is so true. I am guilty of violating this on a regular basis. Thank God for His grace because I need it everyday. And thank you for linking up with me. I hope you'll link up again this week. Have a blessed weekend!
Hi Rosilind ! Very nice of you to stop by. Thanks for your nice comments. I look forward to linking up again so we can keep encouraging each other. God bless you !
