Faith Community Church Of Hopkinton

God gets angry. So does Jesus. God gets angry at injustice and oppression. Christ gets angry at suffering and with leaders who seek their own benefit rather than the benefit of those they lead. They both hate to see religious leaders neglect their responsibilities to shepherd God's people and twist religion into something that weighs people down rather than free them. Unfortunately, anger can be destructive. We can become instinctive, lashing out with anger before we realize it and then find ourselves overwhelmed with remorse because of what we said or did. Anger can be difficult to control. But God promises freedom from sin. He also promises to renew our minds and fill us with peace. We can retrain ourselves. We can find ways to direct our anger towards good actions and healthy levels.
