A look through the lens of anger “‘Be angry, but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26,27) Anger is okay sometimes. Anger must be resolved soon before it turns into sin. Anger can be restrained and controlled. If anger is not stopped, Satan can use it against us.

The lacerating effects of criticism Sometimes those who live near you take on the role of “heaven's sandpaper”. They are the experts at finding bugs and errors no matter how small.
