The Anger Of Man and The Righteousness of God

Sep 3, 2023    Trent Casto

Think about the last time you became really angry? What was the fruit of that anger? Would you say it was the righteousness that should characterize a person who loves and serves God? Probably for most of us it wasn’t. Anger can produce many things, but it does not produce the one thing we Christians want the most in our lives: the righteousness of God. But what the anger of man cannot produce, the word of God can. Join us to find out how.
