Social media and TV have lately been filled with people indignant and raging into the screen. Different than an anger at injustice, this kind of public outrage and venting expresses deeper emotions - hurt and powerlessness. St. Paul tells us to not let our minds be ruled by the “passions” - the visceral emotions that cause us to act in hurtful ways to protect our pride and honor from feelings of hurt and powerlessness. Instead, he says, turn to the Spirit and obedience to Christ, to not be ruled by these passions.
