Righteous Anger
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2009 10:16 am
I’ve always heard there was place in a Christian’s life for something termed “righteous anger”. This past Sunday I heard a pastor teach, that although righteous anger is part of Christian subculture, there is no biblical support for it in a Christian’s life.
I’ve since attended a home church meeting where we tried to think of every scenario where the pastor’s theory wouldn’t hold water. The only person who thought the pastor was in left field didn’t hear the message. I also think the pastor made a pretty good case.
If any of you have about 45 minutes to listen to the message and would like to comment I’d appreciate it. Even if you entirely agree with what the pastor is saying I’d like to hear what you think are the strongest arguments against what he’s saying.
FYI…the teaching pastor has a congregation of over 4000 and he has taught on things like the three views of hell and the four views of Revelation in a very irenic manner. It seems to me that Steve G has a better handle on the finer points of the various views but it is refreshing to hear someone else encourage unity and love while working through points of theology.
Here’s the link to the message:
