Tell Them Exactly

How NOT To Have a Conversation | Week 5 | October 8

How Not to Have a Conversation:


Tell them exactly what you feel/think!

(especially when you're angry)


Proverbs 14:29:

People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.



Proverbs 29:11:

Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.

Galatians 5:19-23:


When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

Your anger is not going to last forever!

What you think changes!

Proverbs 15:28:


The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.

When we're angry is the time we're least likely to speak kindly and most likely to speak unkindly!
