Anger and Love

Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders:

"Holy anger has its roots in genuine love."

"...holy anger is open to abuse."

"Bishop Butler teaches six conditions that make anger sinful:

• When, to favor a resentment or feud, we imagine an injury done to us
• When an injury done to us becomes, in our minds, greater than it really is
• When, without real injury, we feel resentment on account of pain or inconvenience
• When indignation rises too high, and overwhelms our ability to restrain
• When we gratify resentments by causing main or harm out of revenge
• When we are so perplexed and angry at sin in our own lives that we readily project anger at the sin we find in others.

Eph 4:26 - "In your anger do not sin"

Genuine love.  "Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love"
