Christianity is not about being a good and nice person. Oh, no. Not at all. God is not always nice. If you don’t believe me, check out Amos 2 and tell me that God isn’t totally ticked. And we can’t forget the story of Jesus getting so angry he cracked a whip – literally. The examples go on and on. My God is no wimp.
For God’s Sake, Get Angry!
Think about what that actually means: get angry for the sake of God. We need to get angry about the things that make God angry. Get angry at injustice in the world. Get angry at your sin. Get angry that people you know are heading to hell. If you’re not angry at these things, you’ll never move to action. For God’s sake, get angry! Maybe in the comments below you can help me compile a list of other things that make God angry? Go for it, you know you want to.
Don’t be a wimp – get angry.
