Protecting Angry Person From Their Own Actions Will Not Effectively Deal With Anger
Proverbs 19:19. It is challenging dealing with a friend that is continuously getting into trouble because of their anger. They get into fights; they get fired; they get arrested; they lose good will with everyone that is around them. As a friend you think the right thing to do is bail them out every time they get into trouble.
God's Anger is Judgment Against Sin
Revelation 14:10, God gets angry with sin. God's anger is His judgment, both in thought and action, against sinners. God is a loving God, but He is also an angry God when it comes to sin. When people are disobedient to God and reject His grace, God gets angry. Now when God gets angry, His anger turns into action.
Jesus Was Shamed By Man But Is Honored By God
Hebrews 12:2. Expressing your views as a Christian can be a humiliating process. Many people are quite hateful of Christian views on such topics as sex, marriage, temperance, recreational drugs, meaning of life, and even money. People will shame you because you do not believe what society believes or what their group believes.
A Mother’s Love is Sometimes a Hard Love
Proverbs 29:15. It is natural for a mother’s love to be forgiving and not judging. At the same time a mother’s love should not just accept anything that a son or daughter does as OK. A mother must provide correction to her children when they are wrong. She still loves them, but she does have a responsibility to nurture and reproof a child.
Face Death That Is Eternal
Revelation 21:8. The third type of death is Eternal death. Eternal death is eternal separation from God. If we have not accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will face death that is eternal on Judgment Day. Eternal death happens because man chooses sin (disobedience to God), and thus, we choose to be separated from God.
Child Discipline, A Parent's Responsibility
Hebrews 12:7. God approves of child discipline. It is an essential part of a parent and child relationship. Hebrews 12:7 says "...what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?" If parents do not discipline their children they are basically telling the child that they do not care about them. They are saying they do not want to train their children in what is right.
