God’s Promises on Anger - August 29, 2010 by Donny

“Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.” Psalm 37:8


“A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil, But a fool is arrogant and careless. A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of evil devices is hated.” Proverbs 14:16-17


“He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.” Proverbs 14:29


“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1


“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.” Proverbs 16:32


“Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools.” Ecclesiastes 7:9


“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.” Matthew 5:22-24


“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Matthew 6:14


“Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,’ says the Lord. ‘BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.’ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:19-21


“BE ANGRY, AND YET DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” Ephesians 4:26


“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:31-32


“But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.” Colossians 3:8


“For we know Him who said, ‘VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.’ And again, ‘THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.’” Hebrews 10:30


“This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.” James 1:19-20

Prayers … - August 25, 2010 by Donny

For Someone Who Doesn’t Like Me


Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.—Romans 12:10


“God, there is a person in my life who doesn’t like me. Or so it seems. If there is something I am doing to rub that person the wrong way, please help me recognize it and stop. Help me see myself as they see me, and give me the strength and humility to change the things that offend them. Establish a good spirit between us. I want a loving relationship with this person. Help me do what it takes to achieve that. Amen.”




When You Are Resentful


Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.Ephesians 4:31-32



“God, I am feeling resentful. Maybe there are
good reasons for my resentment. Maybe there aren’t. Either way, take these feelings from me. Resentment is really just a desire to hurt another — but I am only hurting myself. Help me forgive. Make me bigger than my resentment. Amen.”



For the Power to Forgive


A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.Proverbs 19:11

“God, You told us to forgive those who hurt us. And yet, I find this hard to do. Deliver me from the hateful pleasure of nursing a grudge. It brings only misery. Instead, help me want to forgive. Then fill my heart with generosity. Make me bigger than my little self. Help me know the incredible pleasure of reconciliation. Amen.”

God’s promises about death (In Touch Ministries) - August 10, 2010 by Donny

(from the July 2010 issue of In Touch magazine)

In the Word of God, Genesis 2:17 records the first mention of death, and Revelation 21:8 contains the last. In between, we find the biblical record of man’s fall into sin and death—and the Father’s work to remedy the situation and reconcile mankind to Himself through the death of His Son.


The Lord takes no pleasure in death (Ezekiel 18:32). But sin is contrary to His nature; because God is holy, He must separate Himself from anything less than absolute purity. Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden so that they couldn’t eat of the tree of life and live forever in their sinning state. They were required to face death, and so must all of mankind (Hebrews 9:27).


Death is separation:



God offers hope through the promised “seed” (Genesis 3:15):



The Lord rules in life and death:
