Now I do want to say on a side point, I'm speaking and preaching about anger,
and what we're doing is not a doctrinal view of anger.
We're just looking at the life of Samson.
Anger is not always wrong.
Anger is not always sinful.
I mean, if you read on the front page of the newspaper
that a child gets molested, it ought to make you mad.
It ought to make you angry.
There are things that we should be angry about.
The Bible speaks of a righteous indignation.
When it comes to these weird Asian philosophies like Taoism and Buddhism and Hinduism,
they will say, well, anger's wrong and hate's wrong and fear is wrong.
But the Bible says the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge.
But I think if we're honest with ourselves,
usually when we get mad, it's not a righteous indignation.
Look, when you call your wife a cow, it's not righteous indignation.
It's called you cannot control your own temper.
And you are doing wrong.
You are sinning.
Now, here's the thing.
I do believe that we ought to learn to minimize the damage when we do get angry.
I mean, get in a pattern, figure out what do you do when you get mad,
and avoid even the opportunity.
So look, if you cannot control your tongue when you get mad,
you need to just start going out for a walk for 30 minutes,
leave your cell phone, and just pray to God and come back.
That's literally what you need to do.
