Anger is God-given energy that can help us solve problems and show compassion. Believers are to be angry when God is dishonored or we witness injustice and wicked acts.

Unhealthy anger violates Scripture or doesn't honor God. James

*We’re indebted to Faith Church of Lafayette, Indiana for pointing out the “Four Rules of Communication”
