We talked about Proverbs tonight in the 5th and 6th grade class. The kids were kinda asleep or something. Perhaps their brains are drained due to school. Anger and Conflict was the subject tonight. You know, Proverbs does have alot to say about anger and temper. Take a look.
A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension,
but a patient man calms a quarrel.
Proverbs 15:18
A quick-tempered man does foolish things,
and a crafty man is hated.
Proverbs 14:17

A patient man has great understanding,
but a quick-tempered man displays folly.
Proverbs 14:29
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty;
if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.
Proverbs 19:19
A fool’s lips bring him strife,
and his mouth invites a beating.
A fool’s mouth is his undoing,
and his lips are a snare to his soul.
Proverbs 18:6-7
The violence of the wicked will drag them away,
for they refuse to do what is right.
Proverbs 21:7
Growing up I did have a temper. But I think I’ve mellowed out. Mostly because I can’t afford to loose my cool. And because I’m not in a position to have a strong opinion one way or another. Anyways I thought I’d write these down as a reference.
