Bible contradiction? | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Skeptics argue that some verses say God’s anger does not last forever (Psa. 30:5; Jer. 3:12; Mic. 7:18), contradicting others that say God’s anger lasts forever (Jer. 17:4; Matt. 25:46)."

Is it wrong to be angry with God?

Is it wrong to be angry with God?: "Answer: Being angry at God is something that many people, both believers and unbelievers, have wrestled with throughout time.

Was Jesus ever angry?

Was Jesus ever angry?: "Answer: When Jesus cleared the temple of the moneychangers and animal-sellers, He showed great emotion and anger (Matthew 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-18; John 2:13-22). Jesus’ emotion was described as “zeal” for God’s house (John 2:17). His anger was pure and completely justified because at its root was concern for God’s holiness and worship. Because these were at stake, Jesus took quick and decisive action. Another time Jesus showed anger was in the synagogue of Capernaum. When the Pharisees refused to answer Jesus’ questions, “He looked around at them in anger, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts” (Mark 3:5)."

How to raise godly offspring. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "If you want “godly offspring,” it is essential that you make the time to establish a family altar. Build it out of the unmovable rocks of resolution. You will need to be resolute about this because it will be a battle. Your flesh will fight it, and you can be sure there will be a continual spiritual battle within your mind."

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - In Touch - Jan. 11, 2012 - Christian Devotional

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - In Touch - Jan. 11, 2012 - Christian Devotional: "There is a common misconception that believers should be perfect. Pretending to have our lives in order, many of us wear happy faces and speak words that sound acceptable. At times we’re ashamed to admit our shortcomings, as if they should not exist. Salvation through Jesus, however, doesn’t change the fact that sin is present in our life. When we’re born again, God forgives us and sees us as righteous. Yet our battle with sin continues till we arrive in heaven."
