Be Angry but Do Not Sin? - Ephesians 4:25-5:2

January 18, 2026

“Be angry, but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” The words sound simple, but like “keep your eye on the ball,” they are much harder to live out. Anger is a neglected topic in the church, even though it is real and Christians experience it every day. Some explode, others suppress it, but neither path leads to life. Anger has deep and destructive effects, triggering destructive behaviors, increasing stress, and damaging relationships. Yet Scripture reminds us that even Jesus became angry, and Ephesians 4 calls us not to deny anger but to handle it rightly, without sin and without giving the devil a foothold.
