Life-Change Resource Controlling Anger: Responding Constructively When Life Goes Wrong

By David Powlison

What makes you angry? Sometimes small things make us angry: traffic jams, a waiter’s mistake, a child’s foolishness, or a friend’s inattention.

And sometimes big things make us angry: betrayal, injustice, meanness, violence, oppression, selfishness, and lying. How do you deal with your

anger? Do you dump it on those around you? Or stuff it deep inside? David Powlison surprises us by explaining how God gets angry too; but

his anger is expressed constructively, ultimately by giving his own Son to right what’s wrong with this world. Learn the five questions to ask

yourself that will help you express your anger God’s way in the difficult situations and relationships you face every day.

A quick note from David and Amanda Kerk Dear McCoy family and friends, We wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your prayers and support as Amanda and I continue down the winding road that is cancer and the complications that have come from that. God has continued to provide each day for us whether it is a note in the mail or financial assistance for medical bills. Although we do not know what each day or week holds we hold tight to the values and the truths that we know to be true. Many of you have known David for years and God has used this trial for both growth and reinforcement of all the truths that he knew from a young age. God has also drawn Amanda closer than ever before as we wait the next steps in our journey. In recognition of Mother’s Day is today we wanted to say a special thank you to David’s mother, Carol Kerk. Thanks mom for the all the sacrifices and time you have spent continuing to help us and for the Godly example you provide us of how to handle our difficult circumstances. We love you mom! Thank you again McCoy family and please feel free to continue to reach out via mail or visits! God Bless! David and Amanda Kerk
