YOU MAKE ME CRAZY - Part 2 

WHO’S PUSHING YOUR BUTTONS? 

➜ A hot-tempered person starts fights; a cool-tempered person stops them. Proverbs 15:18 NLT 

➜ Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. Psalms 37:8 NLT 

WAYS PEOPLE EXPRESS ANGER 

1─The Machine Guns. Example: Cain 

The LORD accepted Abel and his gift, but he did not accept Cain and his gift. This made Cain very angry, and he looked dejected. One day Cain suggested to his brother, “Let’s go out into the fields.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother, Abel, and killed him. Genesis 4:4-5, 8 NLT 

2─The Mute. Example: Jeremiah 

Jeremiah spoke to God, “I never joined the people in their merry feasts. I sat alone because your hand was on me. I was filled with indignation at their sins. Why then does my suffering continue? Why is my wound so incurable?” Jeremiah 15:17-18 NLT 

3─The Martyrs. Example: The Prodigal’s Brother

“The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him,” Luke 15:28 NLT 

4─The Manipulators. Example: The Pharisees 

(Jesus heals on the Sabbath.) At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to discuss what to do with him. Luke 6:11 NLT 

HOW TO DISARM YOUR BUTTON-PUSHERS 

1. Calculate the Cost of Anger. 

An angry person causes trouble; a person with a quick temper sins a lot. Proverbs 29:22 NCV 

People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness. Proverbs 14:29 NLT 

2. Look Past their Words to their Pain.

Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs. Proverbs 19:11 NLT 

3. Think before Reacting. 

Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness. Proverbs 13:16 NLT 

A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered. Proverbs 17:27 NLT 

4. Ask for Help. 

“LORD, help me control my tongue; help me be careful about what I say.” Psalm 141:3 NCV 

The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23 NLT 

5. Base my Identity in Jesus. 

Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT 

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. Ephesians 1:4 NLT
