Anger is an unavoidable reality of life which, more often than not, serves as a destructive force in our lives and relationships.  While we can't escape it's reality, we can avoid it's negative impact.  In fact, anger was designed and has the power to serve a positive purpose.  However, this requires what few of us possess - an understanding of what causes anger and the ability to properly control it.  In this series, we will be exploring the principles God has given us for understanding and controlling this potentially dangerous emotion.  When we understand it's purpose and learn to "VENT" properly, it can and will become a force for good in our lives.  Talk titles include; "It’s a Mad World After All", "OutRAGEous Views", "The Upside of Anger", "Raging Gracefully", and "Mad About You." read more ...
