Anger Kept Too Long
Ephesians 4:26
Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath:


Anger in itself is no sin, but it has a tendency to become so rapidly if it be harboured too long. Like the manna, it corrupts and breeds worms if kept over night in the close chamber of the heart. Then it will appear in the morbid shapes of spite, malice, revenge. The Christian rule is to throw it all away before the fermentation commences.

(Dean Goulburn.)
