stories of the angry police officer 

What we all experience, the consequences and the effects of human anger. We have all been angry at times in our own lives. And we've had people who were angry with us and anger as a force or as a power. It's one of the most destructive forces that can be unleashed among human beings. And it is an emotion, a posture and attitude that is so powerful and so real and so pervasive in our culture that you would think we would have a better handle on our understanding of it. And yet it seems as though we don't understand very much about anger. And yet the scripture is by no means silent. On this matter of anger. And I'd like to turn your attention for a moment. To the New Testament, to the fourth chapter of Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Beginning with verse 25, Ephesians four, 25, the Apostle writes these words. Therefore, putting away lying. Let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour. four, We are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. And do not let the sun go down on your path, nor give place to the devil. Now here, Paul addresses this difficult problem of anger. And he does it in a rather unusual way.  inspired by R.C Sproul
