Bible Study: Week 7 in Proverbs on the topic of sinful anger. "A man of quick temper acts foolishly" (Proverbs 14:17). Sinful anger travels in many forms: hot anger, cold anger, and covert anger. "A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression" (Proverbs 29:22). "A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls" (Proverbs 25:28).

Sinful anger is foolish. It leaves us vulnerable and damages others. But wise people work to become slow to anger. Seven ways to get there:

- Find Your Why. "What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?" (James 4:1). Under all sinful anger is idolatry, the temporary worship of something other than God.
- Familiarize Yourself with the Father. God reveals Himself as "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness" (Exodus 34:6-7). "Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him" (1 Timothy 1:16).
- Focus on the Cross. "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). He was making peace, not war, with His enemies.
- Forfeit Freaking Out. "Do not say, 'I will repay evil'; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you" (Proverbs 20:22). "The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out" (Proverbs 17:14).
- Fall in Love with Grace. "Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense" (Proverbs 19:11). "Whoever covers an offense seeks love" (Proverbs 17:9).
- Friends Matter. "Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare" (Proverbs 22:24-25). "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise" (Proverbs 13:20).
- Fuel Your Passion. "The righteous are bold as a lion" (Proverbs 28:1). "Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord" (Romans 12:11).

"Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city" (Proverbs 16:32).
