If Anger Is a Sin, Why Did Saul Get Angry When the Spirit Came Upon Him? Scripture does not give us the luxury of easy categories when it comes to anger. On one hand, anger is repeatedly warned against as spiritually dangerous and often sinful. On the other, the Bible records moments where anger appears alongside God’s active work—nowhere more uncomfortably than in the rise of Saul.

Anointing and Spirit — From Saul to David. When God Chooses the King Before the Crown. Few moments in Scripture are as sobering—and as instructive—as the quiet transfer of divine favor from one leader to another. There is no coup, no rebellion, no public announcement.

Bezalel’s calling to build the tabernacle shows that God delights in creativity and equips His people to reflect His beauty.
