Unoffendable: How Just One Change Can Make All of Life Better

by Brant Hansen

God is “allowed” anger, yes. And other things, too, that we’re not, like, say—for starters—vengeance. That’s His, and it makes sense, too, that we’re not allowed vengeance. Here’s one reason why: We stand as guilty as whoever is the target of our anger. But God? He doesn’t.

Yes, the world is broken. But don’t be offended by it. Instead, thank God that He’s intervened in it, and He’s going to restore it.

When you’re living in the reality of the forgiveness you’ve been extended, you just don’t get angry with others easily.

We’re also told we should be aroused to anger when we see one of God’s commands being broken. Really? Then we’re going to be busy . . . really, really busy. We’re also going to be really, really angry, all the time—and that’s just at ourselves, for starters.
