Wholesome Relationships IV, the Fruit of Patience

Patience is defined in this sermon as being long-fused, contrasting it with the destructive nature of hot tempers and short fuses. Dr. Passavant explores the significant costs of impatience, which include personal damage, depression from repressed anger, and fractured faith in God’s timing. The suggested cures for a short fuse involve worshipping God for His patience, waiting on Him for perspective, and whispering the name of Jesus in moments of frustration.
