Anger in the Temple

Anger is not something we like to talk about in the church.  Psychologists tell us that human emotions are neutral but how we use them is critical to righteousness and wickedness.  The apostle Paul says in his letter to the Ephesians, "Be angry but do not sin."  Jesus cleansing of the temple is an act of righteous anger.  Let us not sanitize it but seek to better understand how anger works and how it can be constructively used of good and not sin.
