Since then nothing has changed except more killings. Lately, we all have been overwhelmed with yet more news of still more unjust killings such as ISIS, police killing unarmed Black males, and mentally sick men that fought overseas and served the United States Arm Forces. They have returned home with PTSD and taken the lives of police officers. This world that we are living in is becoming darker and darker as each day goes by. Our hearts continue to sink with sadness learning of yet another senseless killing, just this month when ISIS went into a church and killed a priest. Last month a Black male was found in New York (in the park) and in Atlanta (in the park) hanging from a tree. Both cases were ruled suicides. It's hard to believe that Black men would hang themselves publicly in a park, when hanging played such a big role during slavery. Even though these killings are wrong and we can't help but to feel angry, this the kind of anger we SHOULD NOT embrace. If left unchecked, anger can destroy not only the person experiencing it, but also everyone in its path. However, not all anger is bad. We are given some latitude in the Word of God: Ephesians 4:26 tells us to .. "be angry, and yet do not sin." When is anger a good and righ- teous emotion? Here’s a few examples; Senseless killings like Freddie Gray and twelve other unarmed African American males. All thirteen cases of dead unarmed African American males, and not one officer was found guilty, not one. It also angers me when women are exploited through pornogra- phy, or when innocent blood is shed through the horror of child abuse, child abduction or molestation, or perhaps we hear of an elderly person being attacked or abuse when we think they are in good care at that nursing home. Or an innocent family member, watching TV, is shot by a flying bullet from a drive by shooting. Yes, these issues and more seem to be “righteous anger” To not be angered by these things would be a sin, and to not feel anger when even I have been a victim of prejudice or unfair treat- ment would not be an expression of my natu- ral, God-given emotion. But I am sinning because of my anger when I fail to effectively handle that anger in a spiritual, bib- lical way. To not give in to anger and sin, I must allow myself to be guid- ed and controlled by the Holy Spirit and by the law of love, for love “is not easily provoked’ (1 Cor. 13:5). I must maintain an active and working knowledge of the Word of God – I must hide the Word in my heart that I might not sin against God. (read Psalm 119: 11.) Anger that is controlled by a sense of righteousness will never seek to hurt or destroy another, and the expression of that anger will not be made in an ungodly manner. If I walk in the Spirit, anger at the manifesta- tion of the work of the enemy will cause me to pray rather than to gos- sip, to intercede rather than to judge and condemn. Anger expressed righ- teously will cause me to be angry at sin, yet love the sinner and desire his salvation. While there are permissible reasons for and expression of anger, the vast majority of the anger we experience is not justifiable. The danger of anger often manifests itself in unjustifi- able ways and will always get us in trouble with God.
