I went to go see CALL+RESPONSE yesterday. Watching movies in the theaters or even just even watching a movie at all happens quite infrequently, but this documentary was well worth the time: it brought me to think about righteous anger when it comes to human sex trafficking. (By the way, for those in the DFW area, it’s being shown at Angelika Dallas for just a few more days.)

Reading this post today has also gotten me to think more about righteous anger as Christians:

As Christ-followers, we’re totally appropriate getting upset over sin, too. Evils such as abuse, racism, pornography, and child sex trafficking should incense us.

But no matter how reprehensible the people or activities we’re condemning, we still aren’t justified to sin in our responses: “When you are angry, do not sin, and be sure to stop being angry before the end of the day” (Ephesians 4:26, NCV). Those of us with confrontational personalities might want to ask ourselves the question, Is my motive to be right or to be righteous? before ripping into the offending parties.

Oh, by the way, I just saw a plug on Justin Taylor’s blog for the rockumentary, and a YouTube clip of the film.
