Prov. 18:13; 29:11; 15:28; 16:23

 Righteous Wrath: Love of Right: Mk. 3:5  Foolish Wrath: Lack of Self-Control: Prov. 16:32; Eccl. 7:9; Prov. 4:29  Sinful Wrath: Lack of Righteous- ness: Jas. 1:20; Matt. 5:22; Eph. 4:31; Col. 3:8 6 Wise Advice Three points to ponder: 1) “Why are you angry?” Gen. 4:6 2) “Is it right for you to be angry?” Jonah 4:4 3) “Be angry, and do not sin”: Eph. 4:26

 All of us need to heed James’ advice!  “No one wants advice—only corroboration.” —John Steinbeck “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath ; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” James 1:
