HBC Women’s July 2014 1 Peter 1:22 Ladies Fellowship Ministry: The Bible has much to say about anger and angry words! It is one thing for us to laugh at little digital birds that get their feathers ruffled over make-believe events on a smartphone or tablet screen. No harm no foul— just turn the device off and everything is fine. Feathers are smoothed and dander is down where it belongs. But when we humans get our feathers ruffled, it’s not as easy to turn off as flipping a switch or pulling a plug. And the events are not make-believe. Anger is not to be treated casually. Instead, it is to be treated carefully. There is a lot of anger in our world— righteous and unrighteous—and we need to understand how easy it is to slip into the latter kind where pain, shame, and injury are possibilities, if not the result. If you get angry or indignant about the millions of babies aborted each year, or the desperate plight of innocent people suffering at the hands of rival governments, and you do what you can to impact these or other immoral or unjust dimensions of our world—keep it up! You are in the company of Jesus (Mark 3:4-5), the prophets (Ezekiel 34), the apostles (Galatians 2:11-14), and God Himself (1 Kings 11:9-10). You are not retaliating out of anger due to personal injury; you are responding to the violation of a righteous standard of God. You are reacting to the influence of Satan in our world. If you lose your temper and seek to carry out revenge or vengeance toward others, blurt out targeted words of disrespect toward someone, simmer and boil internally with uncontrollable feelings of rage or resentment, or think that God wronged you in some way—you are not in good company (Proverbs 12:16; 15:18, 21:19). God’s Holy Spirit can fill us (Galatians 5:23) and we can get our ruffled feathers back in place before harm is done.

DID YOU KNOW? ...John Adams wrote, in a letter to his wife: The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more. DID YOU KNOW? ...Why is Independence Day celebrated on July 4th? From the outset, Americans celebrated independence on July 4th, because it was the date shown on the much-publicized Declaration of Independence rather than on July 2nd, which was the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress. DID YOU KNOW? ...Another bit of interesting trivia is the fact that most historians think that the Declaration was actually signed on August 2nd, 1776, nearly a month after its adoption and not on July 4th, as is commonly believed. DID YOU KNOW? ...Finally, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom had not only signed the Declaration of Independence but went on to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on July 4th, 1826. Another Founding Father who became President, James Monroe, died on July 4, 1831 becoming the third President in a row to die on Independence Day.
