Master Your Anger!

By Rod Anderson, CP Cartoonist Tuesday, March 10, 2015

Texas megachurch Pastor Ed Young Jr. told his congregation Sunday that while all Christians get angry, not all understand what this emotion is. He called anger "a gift from God," explaining how it can be used constructively, which is its purpose.

Anger is not the primary emotion; it's something that we process, said Young, the founding and senior pastor of Fellowship Church, as he began his sermon, titled "Good 'n' Angry."

"It is usually a secondary emotion, not the first thing we feel," he said, adding that from the human perspective, there's a good side to anger and there's a bad side to anger.

But "anger is a gift from God," he emphasized, saying it is one of the most misunderstood and distorted of all human emotions.
