The Power of Anger
Mark 11:15-19
This week, Charlie Kirk is being celebrated globally in death for his embrace of freedom of speech in life.
Because our beliefs are under attack, our freedom of speech is a right that we need to cherish and that we need to fight for. People are rising up, people are speaking up globally to say that this sort of violence is not condoned but rather condemned. That the left can't bully the right into silence.
The way secular people without grace react—is in anger.
But the Christian approach is self-control.
The story of Jesus cleansing the temple is a perfect illustration of how anger is meant to be a positive, powerful force in our lives.
Worship in the temple was grossly abused in that day.
Jesus yelled at the fleeing tradesmen, It is written, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Mark 11:17
