Be Angry, And Yet Do Not Sin

 

[158 words]

It was close to the end of the Broncos/Colts game. Denver’s Von Miller and Colt’s Dwayne Allen were in a discussion when Bronco’s Aquib Talib ran over and jabbed his fingers into Allen’s eye. This action cost the Broncos the game, Peyton Manning was cheated out of the NFL career yardage and spoiled the Broncos undefeated season.

So Aquib Talib not only performed an ugly assault, but spoiled the dreams and aims of the whole Broncos corporate body. What a selfish, angry act.

We Christians are warned – “Be angry, and yet do not sin.” Eph 4:32. We too, can spoil any good plans and hard work of the church, (corporate body) by one angry act of poking someone in the eye to satisfy our anger. The Broncos may lose millions over such an incident. We could lose a soul.

Think before your anger insists on poking someone in the eye.
