Paul B Thomas 
It seems as if folks online are getting angrier and angrier online, you see it on their blogs and Facebook. People venting their opinions and getting mad at folks. Of course its easy to blame others for things not going “your” way, or because others see things differently to you. Maybe folks are angry because no ones paying attention to them and they are not getting the recognition they think they deserve. Maybe they are saying too much online to the wrong people!
But what if it’s the preachers who are getting mad!
Today I left a group of preachers online because they were bad mouthing others and bragging how they threw out a guy who believed differently to them, I guess he had challenged them on what they believed! (welcome to the real world!) I dont know the gentleman in person but I had read enough to want to throw up anyway. I myself had only been a member a few days, but I picked up their agenda pretty quick. I made my comment “do not fear those who challenge your doctrine rather fear your inability to be Jesus to them” or words to that effect, then I left! But this is what I saw.
It’s time to wake up, the world is rejecting the church because of the attitude of some “preachers!” One wise man once said, “Do not live with angry men lest you take on his ways.” Thats the best thing to do with an angry preacher, leave! Don’t try to make him adjust, just go! Some think that by cutting others out from their group reveals their strength as leaders, I disagree. They may think that they are being holy by separating themselves from the brother who is different but in reality their anger is their pride at work, a troubled spirit, one that desires “recognition” and “acceptance!” I’ll pull no punches, It’s an inability to deal with people as Jesus would!
Anger is a sign that a man is spending more time in ministry than with Jesus.“An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.” (prov 29:22) It’s a tell-tale sign. In the pulpit he will rave and call it “good preaching” and then tell you, that you need to spend more time with God. He’s just revealed his problem. He does not spend time with God himself! You can do one of two things, repent for making the ministry your platform to vent your anger or get…… “angry” with me!
Paul.
