Last week, I made a glancing reference to the fact that I bought a scale, but if I really wanted to lose weight, I needed a new relationship with food.
Last week we talked about this change at a culture level.
This week, we talk about how that affects us a bit more personally; it affects our relationship with the truth and our relationship with anger.
Truth & Consequences
It should be no surprise that we are to speak truthfully.
10 Commandments
Tell our children not to lie
But is there more to it than that?
As mature Christians, we are to put off falsehoods and speak truth, including the truths we find in
Omitting truth in Christ is one way that we fail to speak truthfully
Not necessarily that you dropped a couple of figures on your tax form; though that isn’t excluded
Moments where we are able to speak the truth of Christ, but we succumb to our own fears
Believing falsehood about our identity and purpose in Christ is a way that we retain falsehood.
When we allow other voices to define our identity, that is promoting falsehood
Often pegged to something material or cultural
Maturity also means that how we speak truth also matters ()
Anger & Sin
What does sinless anger look like?
Mature Christians can be angry without sinning ()
This is not the only time that this exact phrase shows up; it’s something that God wants us to understand
Fallen anger results because we didn’t get something we wanted
Redeemed anger is the emotion that results when God’s creation abandons God’s standard
While validating anger, we also keep it in check.
