"God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry?" --Jonah 4:9

"Anger is not always or necessarily sinful, but it has such a tendency to run wild that whenever it displays itself, we should be quick to question its character, with this inquiry, "Doest thou well to be angry?" It may be that we can answer, "YES." Very frequently anger is the madman's firebrand, but sometimes it is Elijah's fire from heaven. We do well when we are angry with sin, because of the wrong which it commits against our good and gracious God; or with ourselves because we remain so foolish after so much divine instruction; or with others when the sole cause of anger is the evil which they do. He who is not angry at transgression becomes a partaker in it. Sin is a loathsome and hateful thing, and no renewed heart can patiently endure it. God himself is angry with the wicked every day, and it is written in His Word, "Ye that love the Lord, hate evil." Far more frequently it is to be feared that our anger is not commendable or even justifiable, and then we must answer, "NO." Why should we be fretful with children, passionate with servants, and wrathful with companions? Is such anger honourable to our Christian profession, or glorifying to God? Is it not the old evil heart seeking to gain dominion, and should we not resist it with all the might of our newborn nature. Many professors give way to temper as though it were useless to attempt resistance; but let the believer remember that he must be a conqueror in every point, or else he cannot be crowned. If we cannot control our tempers, what has grace done for us? Some one told Mr. Jay that grace was often grafted on a crab-stump. "Yes," said he, "but the fruit will not be crabs." We must not make natural infirmity an excuse for sin, but we must fly to the cross and pray the Lord to crucify our tempers, and renew us in gentleness and meekness after His own image."

CH Spurgeon, I think...

Ya know, the world is really friggin' ugly right now, we live among a bunch of hateful asps, and they hate themselves more than anyone else. That's an extremely dangerous kind of hatred. It's the lowest of the low and when it creeps into your life, you're gonna be tempted to become angry in kind...

I hate those that oppose themselves and God with a perfect hatred, but I wont allow that to allow me the pleasure of condemning them or judging them. Such is not my place. But I will judge sin for what it is, and I'll judge it in my life harsher than anywhere else...Because I too hate myself when I sin.

It's hard when you give all your love to someone only to find that they wish you the worst in their hearts. People in this world are capable of the most disgusting acts of cruelty and debauchery ever imagined and they do it all while portraying themsleves to be "healers," "therapists," "physicians," and "instructors" and men and women of honor and nobility...What is the man of God supposed to do in such a context? It's maddening and the Enemy loves this. What insanity!

And we wonder why some become Nazis and KKK members...think about what the transgressor must yet protect if he hopes to have anything at all!

Even the mightiest of us, are not islands, we have as much need for companionship and fellowship as the next person. Evil people have a fairly easy time finding companionship and fellowship though they don't cherish it as they ought or even recognize its beauty. They treat it as the whore does a "trick." Or the wayward wife her afternoon "excursion." They are very childish in their perception of "fellowship." Never growing beyond a base understanding of "give and take" in relationships, they give full vent to all their loathsome energies and desires and will have them fulfilled or else...lash out, strike down, and hurt whatever denies them their right to put their hand in a cookie jar...They don't think of the lusting for the cookie as sin, but as their right, and if you deny them that cookie, YOU, not they are breaking the Law. This is the stupid mentality of the sinner, and I hate it, and have no patience for it. Yet what can one do? We, godly men are hedged in. The tares are ever increasing in number. And the instruction?

Mat 5:43-45 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Why can't we judge anyone? What if we, after judging, fall into transgression ourselves? Now not only must we deal with our own lusting selves but our tresspass of judgment against someone else's lusts...

Man! It is so tough yet so easy to be perfect, all it really requires is agreement. Notice how much contention there is in the world? These are the lusts that are in our own flesh like infirmities and cancers for which there is no cure...And the only relief one gets from cancer is from the touch if God. That is the Power everyone wants, though very few want to keep it pure...Most of the abominations in this world, want to use it up again and again, coming back every hour for another "cookie." They don't and cannot desire that which is righteous. They are dead and must feed like the grave.

Jam 4:1-10 From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

You have NO chance without God. In the current reality, you have little chance with God, but that is more than anyone else beside you has...Cherish that! Thank Him every hour, every minute for His Grace because when Grace runs out, then cometh Wrath and who shall be able to stand that Day?

Jacob 5:77

And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard, then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered; and the good will I preserve unto myself, and the bad will I cast away into its own place. And then cometh the season and the end; and my vineyard will I cause to be burned with fire.

Hbr 6:4-8 For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame.
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
But that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected, and [is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.
