Anger Management 101
I admit it's a rather unusual topic to talk about last Friday but I thought we could learn plenty about how we can overcome this common problem of mankind from each of you. As usual, we started with a few rounds of home-made Pizza, talk out loud how our week was. Looked like everyone has something to share about their encounters in this department.
Well, in summary, it's about acknowledging our weakness and asking God to replace that spirit of anger with the Spirit of love. You know, as Reba shared, it ought not to be looking at self continuously if we are to want to manage our anger. As we died in Christ of our sinfulness, Christ lives in us, and henceforth, not I but Christ. When that self is mortified, the light of hope and truth descends upon us, while all those lies of darkness (to justify our anger) - saying to the victim,"You deserved it!" disappears.
Having said that, we all have our fair share of trials last week (thanks HC, Reba and Daisy) and it sure looks like we need to pray for one another in this area. Prayer items - Reba heading back to the States, church activities, new SF focus for the new year, chinese construction ministry. We do want to remember John with his dry cough, and Douglas with speedy recovery from the common flu. Next week, our SF will be on Saturday, whereby we head out to JB right after Mike's cooking demonstration.
Stay tune...
