Ephesians 4:26-27

Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.

I never thought I could be angry and not sin, which means that if I make choices in anger, it depends on how far I let that anger go.  Pastor Monte always says, “Sin will keep you longer than you want to stay and take you farther than you want to go.”  If I choose the road of anger, I give place to the devil, and I narrow my choices.  I hem myself into a path that if I had let the anger go, I would never have taken.  What do I value most is peace and freedom within the boundaries of scripture teaching.  Don’t get caught up on the word boundaries, because if I truly know what Jesus has written about my life and His plans for me than I know, they are for good.
