Bible Summary. Dealing with someone's anger with anger eventually leads to physical violence. In many cases if you continuously help an angry person that gets into trouble, you are just setting the person up again to get into trouble because of their anger. The best way to deal with most anger is by thinking before acting.

Bible Summary. All of us get angry. What is important is how do we control our anger. God has made anger part of our human nature, but anger needs to be channeled into constructive action. With child discipline we must control our anger and communicate clearly to the child why we are correcting their behavior.

Proverbs 19:11. The best way to deal with most anger is by thinking before acting. Most anger is driven by pride and selfishness. Most anger is not pleasing to God.

Proverbs 19:19. It is challenging dealing with a friend that is continuously getting into trouble because of their anger. They get into fights; they get fired; they get arrested; they lose good will with everyone that is around them. As a friend you think the right thing to do is bail them out every time they get into trouble.

Proverbs 16:32. All of us have trouble controlling our anger at one time or another. The way to stop anger is to control it within and not just suppress it from displaying outwardly to others.

Proverbs 15:1. All of us deal with anger every day. The question is do we deal with it in a way that is pleasing to God. When someone is shouting at us, do we attempt to drown out that shouting with our own shouting. When someone cuts in front of us while we are driving, do we then cut in front of them in anger. When someone gets angry with us, do we get angry with us.

Ephesians 4:31. The Bible tells us that it is our responsibility to stop our anger when it is based on evil intentions. People have so many excuses for being angry. These excuses can include things like being threatened, being hurt, being frustrated, and so on. These may be valid excuses for being angry, but does your angry reaction line up with the Word of God?

Proverbs 14:29. Anger is not necessarily bad, but it does need to be controlled. Proverbs 14:29 says, “He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.” Whenever we get angry at someone or something, we need to look at the source of the anger.

Proverbs 12:16. All of us get angry. What is important is how do we control your anger. Not all anger is bad, but uncontrolled anger results in bad things. The Bible tells us that fools do not control their anger, but will act in anger whenever anger presents itself.

Bible Summary. God has given Christians a capacity and purpose for being angry. As Christians we have every right to take action against Christian hypocrisy that clearly misrepresents God. Christian hypocrisy is a primary cause for Christians to get justifiably angry. See below for Biblical commentary and scriptures in regard to Christian anger.

Galatians 2:11. Christian hypocrisy is a primary cause for Christians to get justifiably angry.

Mark 11:15. In the book of Mark, Jesus displayed Christian anger at the hypocritical moneychangers in the temple. Mark 11:15 says, “And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of them that sold doves;”

Mark 3:5. God has given Christians a capacity and purpose for being angry. In Mark 3, Jesus as a man, gives us an example of being angry. Here Jesus became angry with the Pharisees over their hatefulness in regard to healing a person on the Sabbath. The Pharisees' purpose was to accuse Jesus versus seeking God's will concerning healing people.

Bible Summary. There are many causes of anger. When we get angry, we need to examine why are we getting angry and is anger the right response. For example, self-righteous anger is a terrible thing to God. This cause of anger may feel good, but it will lead us far from God. Another cause of anger is when we are threatened.

Luke 15:28. Jealousy and self-righteousness are not good causes for anger. The story of the prodigal son provides a great example of someone getting angry because of jealousy and self-righteousness. In this case, the prodigal son's brother was extremely angry when his father gave a great welcoming party for the prodigal son's return.
