    Day 312. Is anger always sinful? (2024)
    Nov 7 2024
    Today is day 312 and we are studying The Sixth Commandment. 312. Is anger always sinful? While godly anger is a just response to wickedness and injustice, we are more often led into ungodly anger by fear, pride, and revenge. We should therefore be slow to anger and quick to forgive. (Psalm 103:8–9; Proverbs 15:18; 16:32; 19:11; Micah 7:18; John 2:13–17; Ephesians 4:26–27, 31–32; James 1:19–20) We will conclude today by praying the Kaph Stanza of Psalm 119 which is verses 81-88 found on page 433 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

    Day 311. How did Jesus extend the law against murder? (2024)
    Nov 6 2024
    Today is day 311 and we are studying The Sixth Commandment. 311. How did Jesus extend the law against murder? Jesus taught that this commandment also forbids the vice of ungodly anger.
