Some folks have a need to fight. Their religion does not always cure it but just gives it another cloak to wear into battle. They define themselves by what they are against. They have an insatiable need to be right with unresolved anger issues. It is either a sign of immaturity or that we have not surrendered everything. When we have been conquered and have made a full surrender, the need to fight disappears. We discover peace and serenity. We have found the rest that belongs to the people of God.
“One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city.” Proverbs 16:32 (NRSV)
