Last Sunday night at the Rock Underground we talked about how focused we can get on ourselves especially when we get busy or stressed. One huge tool I use to break out of this way of thinking is to search the scriptures for attributes of God.
We broke up into a group focused on the Old Testament and a group focused on the New.
