The Bible tells us to put away unrighteous anger, but it also commands us to have righteous anger. Because anger is a response to what we love being attacked, righteous anger happens when we love God's glory and character enough to be angry when it's attacked. And ultimately, God's own wrath toward those things which attack his glory and character is consumed by his love for his people in Jesus.
