Today’s message is about a problem that many Christians have, and it is called bitterness. It is bitterness that blows out the candle of joy and leaves the soul in darkness, and I am afraid more people have a root of bitterness than we dare think. Bitterness has done untold damage to communities. It has done untold damage to churches, and untold damage to homes.
I am convinced that bitterness does more to hold back the power of God and revival than liberalism. Bitterness does more to hold back the power of God and revival than does alcohol or pornography. Bitterness keeps the people of God from having the power of God, and the holiness of God, that they need in their hearts and in their lives. Unfortunately, much of this bitterness, is found in the people of God. We have bitter brothers, sour sisters, caustic Christians, and the Bible speaks of a “root of bitterness.”

This is a live recording of The Master’s Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS.

In today’s message we are going to be talking about how to handle anger. Now, all of us have to deal with anger in our lives. There are lots of counselors out there who you can spend a great deal of money on learning how to deal with anger, but today we are going to see what God has to say about how to handle anger. I believe this is a topic that is very important for every believer, because I don’t know of anything that’s doing more damage to people than is the problem of uncontrolled, un-Christian anger.
Not all anger is bad. Some anger is good. The Lord Jesus says the way to be angry and sin not, is to be angry only at sin. You see, you are to love the sinner and hate the sin. So, how can you tell when your anger is a godly, or sinful anger? Ask yourself, it is without sufficient cause, if it is without a righteous cause, then it’s sinful anger. If that anger is against the person rather than the offense, then it is unrighteous anger. If you have a desire for revenge, then it is unrighteous anger. If you harbor that anger in your heart and don’t want to give it up, then it is unrighteous anger. Then, if you have an unforgiving spirit, then it is unrighteous anger. If your anger carries one of these marks, then it is an unrighteous anger. The really wonderful thing about God is that He knows how big of a problem this is.
