Anger is not the opposite of love; often it is love's clearest expression.How can we love people and stand by while they are wounded and exploited by selfish (people)...One of the most lamentable weaknesses of our generation lies in the luke-warmness of its love-the feebleness of its protests growing out of its luke-warmness. Monstrous evils thrive right under our noses, become entrenched in politics and custom, grow brazenly insolent to every plea for decency and justice because we who are Christians do not speak.

The person who cannot be angry at things which thwart God's purposes and God's love toward people is living too far away from his fellow men ever to feel anything positive towards them. James Packer, Your Father Loves You

"In the world it is called tolerance, but in hell it is called despair... the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die."
Dorothy L. Sayers

Romans 118 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of human beings who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Isaiah 121 In that day you will say: “I will praise you, LORD.
Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me.
2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my defense;he has become my salvation.”
3 With joy you will draw waterfrom the wells of salvation.
