In Ephesians chapter 4, Paul writes, In your anger do not sin: do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. (Ephesians 4:26-27, NIV) God understands the heart of mankind. He knows how difficult people can be,...

I thought I was kind for the most part. I mean, I don’t yell at people, I tip waiters, I hold my tongue in public, I smile a lot, and I always respect those who serve me. But then my son asked me a question one day that got me wondering if perhaps there was more to...
