Proverbs 29:22 | The Folly Of Wrath & Anger

Preacher: Joel Fair
Scripture: Proverbs 29-22

1. The Sin
2. What Does Sin Produce?
3. How Do We Fight For Joy?

Psalm 14:1-3
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works

Proverbs 15:18
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention

Romans 2:1
Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

Proverbs 14:29
Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding

Exodus 34:6-7
The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”

Romans 3:21-26
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

From the Valley Of Vision
If traces of Christ’s love-artistry
be upon me, may he work on
with his divine brush until
the complete image be
obtained and I be made a
perfect copy of him, my Master.
