Four wrong ways to deal with anger: 1. Repress. Hold it in, ignore, deny, push it under, stuff it. a. Internally. Seethe with bitterness, jealousy, etc. b. Externally. The “silent treatment” (Eph. 4:26). 2. Express. “Dump it;” “get it off your chest.” a. Direct expression. Explode. Blow up (Gal. 5:20; Prov. 12:16; Prov. 14:29; Prov. 29:11; Prov. 29:22; Eccl. 7:9). b. Indirect expression. “I’ll get even” (Lev. 19:18; Rom. 12:19). c. Substitutionary expression. “Ventilation.” 3. Digress. Turn aside. Get your mind off of it. 4. Profess to be powerless. Make excuses. Disclaim responsibility.
