Featured Term (selected at random):
Justifiable indignation. It is permissible and even laudable when accompanied by a reasonable desire to inflict justifiable punishment. Christ himself was filled with righteous anger against the vendors who had desecrated the house of God. Such anger is allowable only if it tends to punish those who deserve punishment, according to the measure of their guilt, and with the sincere intention to redress what harm may have been done or to correct the wrongdoer. Otherwise the anger is sinfully excessive. The necessary provision is always that there is no tinge of hatred and no desire for revenge.
I can see where this might be appropriate in a parent/child relationship.
What do you think?
On another note, however, any examples of the righteous anger of God?

We can feel righteous anger by hating the sin, say, of abortion, and asking the Lord that justice be done, that the Lord change the heart of abortion providers and those considering abortion so that no more babies die from being aborted.
This is my calling. ;)
