Read Pro. 12:16
Much is written in the Bible about the angry man. A fool will not be able to control his anger but a wise man will have self-control. The wise man will not only control his anger but he will cover the sin of others. We sometimes forget that we are not the judge; God is. Our job is to love and speak the truth in love. I'm not saying that we never discipline because the Bible gives us detailed instructions on discipline but not judging. We have been given discernment which helps us in forming our boundaries and in knowing what to pray about, but not in how to fix the problem. That is the job of the Holy Spirit. The only people that Jesus condemned were the scribes and pharasees, the teachers and leaders of the organized church at the time who were leading people astray. Jesus was able to get angry with them and still not sin. He was angry at the spirit of deception they were working from and their oppressive influence over the people. Jesus came to set us free from religion and oppression and lead us to God.
Lord, help us to have discernment and self-control. Teach us your ways.
