Is it ok to get angry with God? Is there ever a time when anger is justifiable and/or considered OK or even good? Is there such a thing as righteous anger? Are all forms of anger OK as long as the correct action is taken to deal with them? Or is it ALWAYS a sin to get angry, especially with God?
Just something I've been dueling with for awhile...I'd love to hear thoughts if anyone wouldn't mind sharing. I've got plenty of thoughts on the topic but I hate to bias people or be biased too much before I hear their thoughts first haha
On a different note...
Advance was amazing.
I am so excited / nervous to pray over and decide where I want to apply for leadership at the BCM and I'm so glad I went on Advance. I hope everyone else is feeling the same way because I think we can really expect awesome things from the BCM the rest of this year and next year. I feel like there's so much potential for each of the vision teams for next year. We've already come so far with them this year that I feel like next year will only be better and better. Thank you to everyone who really put their effort and care into this short weekend, especially the freshmen. I absolutely LOVE freshmen ministry and I LOVE freshmen (in a very non creepy way haha) and I just think that everyone did a great job of stepping up and really showing what kind of young leaders the BCM will have next year. Thank you to all the upperclassmen who prayed over the underclassmen...if nothing else I know that meant a lot to me and really encouraged me to be excited and ready for a leadership opportunity...wherever God leads me. I encourage EVERYONE to look over the leadership application info and really seriously consider where you can get involved or remain involved at the BCM. I can't wait to see where we all are this time next year. Thanks everyone and I hope everyone else's Advance experiences were as awesome as mine. Be in prayer. Constantly. I need to be in prayer WAY more.

Rawr!!! "You won't like me when I'm angry." What is anger? Well, what is it not? It's not hate, although it can lead to it. It's not contempt.
When I first read this, I immediately thought of Jesus in the temple. Jesus was angry, flipping over tables, denouncing the moneylenders. They were desecrating his house. I would be angry too. But Jesus was sinless in this act.
Anger is an emotion. It can be fueled by hate or love. Why are we angry then. Is it because we see someone being hurt by someone and in that injustice we become angry at the person who is doing wrong? Or are we angry in a moment because we are selfish and only thinking about ourself.
I think if you want to ask, "Was my anger wrong?" You need ask yourself why you were angry and what happened as a result of that anger. Obviously turning over tables did not cause Jesus to sin. But killing a man because your angry would definitely be a sin.
hum i totally agree...thanks for the insight!
