Broken Relationships
* What started the issue is not the problem
* The anger that still exists is the problem
- ANGER is and issue of the HEART
Ephesians 4:26-27
Be angry, and do not sin. Don't let the sun go down on your anger, and don't give the devil an opportunity
Ephesians 4:31-32
All bitterness, anger, and wrath, insult and slander must be removed from you, along with all wickedness. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as Christ also forgave (forgives) you.
*Forgiveness is choosing to cancel the debt. "You don't owe me no mo."
*That's what Jesus did for us on the cross. He canceled the debt.
And now for one of my favorite scenes in Kingpin, after Roy Munson has left the barn raising for the lunch bell, one of the Amish confronts Munson about it to which he replies:
"You know what the bible says about not forgiving people" Amish guy: "Why don't you tell us what it says Mr. Munson."
Munson: "Well, it's against it."
