Impatience and Irritability

I am currently reading the book, Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges.


Chapter 14 - Impatience and Irritability

        • Frequently displayed more within the family dynamic than without. 
        • If patience is a virtue, impatience is sin.
        • Irritability = frequent impatience.
        • Two options are given for dealing with an irritable person.
          • Follow the example of Jesus
          • Confrontation, but done for their benefit, not just yours
Not sure that I see impatience as sin. I think it is more about how we deal eith feelings of impatience. But I can say that for several other issues in the book as well. It is a fine line.
