    The WAY Forward: Good Anger Big Idea: A world without anger is a world without love. Purpose: To challenge people towards good anger. Passage: Mark 3:1-6 Verse: Eph. 4:26 Opening -When you think of anger what pops into your mind? My conception of anger is often shaped by how anger is portrayed in pop culture. When I think of anger I think of Angry Birds Or I think of how the emotion of anger is depicted in Inside Out. Or I think of the Incredible Hulk. That is an instance where anger turns someone into an out-of-control monster. Or I think of the movie Anger Management where Adam Sandler is trying to get his anger under control. Or I think of an angry God throwing down lightning bolts from the heavens -All these depictions of anger spring from our experience with anger. Most often when we are on the giving or receiving end of anger, it is an emotion that is toxic, destructive and out of control. But while anger can certainly be toxic, destructive and out of control, it doesn’t have to be. Anger can be the exact opposite of each of those things. And that is what we are going to explore today. Review -We are in the 5th week of a series called The WAY Forward: Following Jesus in a Chaotic World. The purpose of this series is to provide us with practices that will help us survive and thrive in our chaotic world. In week 1, we discussed the importance of unplugging.

Dr. Dallas Willard writes, “To cut the root of anger is to wither the tree of human evil.” This is an extraordinary claim which suggests anger is a primary human sin, and a catalyst for many other sins and social problems. The implications of anger reach deep into one’s personal life and relationships and threaten the unity and witness of the Church. The transcendent problem of anger, according to Willard, is why Jesus addresses it before lust, divorce, retaliation, and loving enemies in the Sermon on the Mount. The transformation of anger has profound implications for individuals, relationships, the Church, and the culture.

  • William Cullen Bryant - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series William Cullen Bryant - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive William Cullen Bryant(November 3, 1794 – June 12, 1878) an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post. Bryant was born on November 3, 1794, in a log cabin near Cummington, Massachusetts; the home of his birth is today marked with a plaque. He was the second son of Peter Bryant, a doctor and later a state legislator, and Sarah Snell. His maternal ancestry traces back to passengers on the Mayflower; his father's, to colonists who arrived about a dozen years later. Bryant and his family moved to a new home when he was two years old. The William Cullen Bryant Homestead, his boyhood home, is now a museum. After just two years at Williams College, he studied law in Worthington and Bridgewater in Massachusetts, and he was admitted to the bar in 1815. He then began practicing law in nearby Plainfield, walking the seven miles from Cummington every day. On one of these walks, in December 1815, he noticed a single bird flying on the horizon; the sight moved him enough to write "To a Waterfowl". Bryant developed an interest in poetry early in life. Under his father's tutelage, he emulated Alexander Pope and other Neo-Classic British poets. The Embargo, a savage attack on President Thomas Jefferson published in 1808, reflected Dr. Bryant's Federalist political views. The first edition quickly sold out—partly because of the publicity earned by the poet's young age—and a second, expanded edition, which included Bryant's translation of Classical verse, was printed.
