Anger management 101
Spirituali-tea to discuss
‘meaningful conversations’
On Monday, July 11, at 6:30
p.m., everyone is invited to
Spirituali-tea to join a group of
friends from varied spiritual
paths and discuss “meaningful
and distinctive conversations”
while sharing cups of tea or
coffee.
The Writings of the Baha’i
Faith say: “Every word is
endowed with a spirit, there-
fore the speaker or expounder
should carefully deliver his
words at the appropriate time
and place, for the impression
which each word maketh is
clearly evident and percepti-
ble. The Great Being saith:
One word may be likened unto
fire, another unto light, and the
influence which both exert is
manifest in the world.”
The main goal of the Baha’i
Faith will always center
around one ultimate aim: the
peaceful unification of the
entire human race.
The gathering will end at 8
p.m. with prayers for the
requests left in the Prayer Pole
in the garden of the Florence
Playhouse and those shared by
the group.
The Heintz home is at 875
Seventh St.
For more information, call
Suzanne Mann-Heintz at 541-
590 0779.

When we attended the 10-
year anniversary celebration
of Mercy Multiplied in the St.
Louis, Mo., area, one of the
young ladies who graduated
from the program shared an
eye-opening testimony.
She said that her father
committed suicide when she
was a teenager and the pain of
that situation led her to start
drinking and taking drugs.
When she realized her life was
falling apart, she went to
Mercy Multiplied for help.
The thing that really struck
me was when she shared that
as she went through the pro-
gram, she came to realize that
her problem started at the time
her father committed suicide
because it made her angry that
he took his life and left their
family.
She couldn’t get well and
overcome her addiction to
drugs and alcohol until she got
over being angry with him.
Many times we have issues
in our lives because we’re
angry about something but we
don’t know it. I believe that
for many people, the root of
their problem is due to the fact
that they are angry at God
because their lives haven’t
turned out right, or they are
angry with someone who has
hurt them. They may even be
angry at themselves for some
reason.
The word “anger” is one
letter away from “danger.”
Benjamin Franklin is quot-
ed as saying, “Whatever is
begun in anger ends in
shame,” and “Anger is never
without a reason, but it seldom
has a good one.”
It’s so important for us to be
aware of any anger issues we
have because they can become
dangerous and create damage
in our lives.
Our anger epidemic
We live in an angry society,
and we see the effects of it in
problems like road rage,
which has surged over the last
few years.
I recently researched statis-
tics on anger and discovered
that an estimated 1 out of 5
Americans has an anger man-
agement problem.
According to an article in
Newsweek, people are coming
out in droves asking for help
with anger management.
Enrollment in anger manage-
ment classes is booming and
the demand for counselors is
at an all-time high.
The Holy Spirit is the ulti-
mate anger management coun-
selor. Jesus says in John 14:26
(AMP), “But the Helper, the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in My name… He
will teach you all things.”
We can be confident that
when we go to God, He will
give us the help we need to
face the truth about ourselves
and overcome our problems.

What anger looks like
Dallas Willard, who was a
professor of philosophy at the
University
of
Southern
California for 47 years and a
best-selling Christian author,
defines anger as “a feeling
that seizes us in our body and
immediately impels us toward
interfering with — and possi-
bly even harming — those
who have thwarted our will
and interfered with our life.”
He also says, “Anger will
evoke anger on the other
side.”
In other words, one per-
son’s anger feeds another per-
son’s anger.
We all get opportunities to
be angry. You may not be the
kind of person who gets road
rage, but you may still get
angry over what the Bible
calls “trifling controversies
over ignorant questionings”
that “foster strife and breed
quarrels” (2 Timothy 2:23
AMPC).
I wasted so many years of
my life being angry about
things that didn’t really matter
and trying to control people I
was never going to be able to
control.
The truth is, there is noth-
ing better than peace. And
God’s peace in our souls
equals power in our lives.
If you want more power
and energy in your life, you
can’t be angry all the time.
Find freedom from anger
In order to be free from
anything, we have to face
truth and take responsibility
for our behavior. Blaming
other people or circumstances
and making excuses never
changes anything.
John 8:31-32 teaches us
that if we abide in Christ, con-
tinually obeying His teach-
ings, we will know the truth
and the truth will set us free.
I want to encourage you to
go to God first when you are
angry.
Tell Him honestly how you
feel and make a determined
decision to forgive.
There is no sense wasting
your life being angry about
something that happened
years ago — or even some-
thing that happened earlier
today.
Take a few moments and
pray something like this: “I
need Your help, Lord, to deal
with my anger. I thank You
that because of Your love,
grace, mercy and the power of
the Holy Spirit in my life, I
don’t have to act on those
foolish feelings that can cause
problems in my life and hurt
me and others.”
Spend time quietly waiting
on God with an open heart to
hear what He has to say to
you. Study what His Word
says about anger and being
angry.
And trust Him to make
some
positive,
healthy
changes that will bring more
of His peace and power into
your life.
