Without Anger

“I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.” 1 Timothy 2:8

Pastor Andy Cook writes the following: “Reading the Bible without applying it to your life can be downright dangerous.

On August 3, 1996, Melvin Hitchens, sat on his front porch and read the Bible. After his Bible reading, this 66-year-old man went in his house and retrieved a .45 caliber handgun. He went back outside, and shot his neighbors! He killed Donna Jett as she swept her sidewalk and injured Darryl Jett while he was mowing.
Family members and neighborhood residents testified that Hitchens and the Jett’s had a running feud over the care of their yards and the cleanliness of the gutters. No one, however, had an explanation how a man could put down his Bible, and commit such a violent act!

Positive transformation requires the application of God’s Word.”

Confess any anger you have to Jesus, and accept His peace.
