Monday Puritan

On Mark 3:5, George Petter wrote, "Labour for this holy affection of anger against sin, that we may have our hearts moved to indignation when we see God dishonoured: To this end, labour for the true love of God in our hearts; then we shall not endure to see him dishonoured without being angry and displeased with it. A loving Child cannot but be displeased when he sees his Father abused; neither can any true Child of God endure to see or hear God dishonoured, he must needs shew dislike and displeasure in it. ... Examine our anger against others by this property, to know whether it be good and holy: is it joined with inward grief for the person and for the sin? Then our anger is good and not otherwise."
