Anger itself isn’t always sin, but what we do with it often is. We need God’s power and wisdom to respond in a way that builds up rather than tears down. In the apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he exhorted believers that they must control their anger as members of one another in Christ Jesus.

We can receive help from the Lord to rightly handle our anger.
