NOTES:

And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

Ephesians 4:26-27 (NLT)

TWO TYPES OF ANGER:

Righteous and Unrighteous

WHEN THE DEVIL GETS A FOOTHOLD

DIVISION

DISTRACTION

DISCREDIT

HOW DO YOU HANDLE OFFENSE FROM THOSE PEOPLE?

SEEK to UNDERSTAND - don't rush to judgment.

People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Proverbs 14:29 (NLT)

RESTRAIN your TONGUE- don’t spout off.

Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

Ephesians 4:29 (NLT)

BOTTOM LINE:

OFFENSE is INEVITABLE. Being OFFENDED is a CHOICE.

THE CHALLENGE:

Pray for THAT person.
