One result of our new found rural life was a new intensity in our quest for deer.

CHRISTMAS: IT’S ALL GOOD | Better Than True | North Point Community Church

How Not to Be Your Own Worst Enemy | Pay Attention to Your Narratives | North Point Community Church

How Not to Be Your Own Worst Enemy | Pay Attention | North Point Community Church
Andy Stanley – We all face dilemmas in which circumstances point us in one direction, but our consciences point us in a different direction.

Anger Andy Stanley – When we feel anger, our emotions tell us it’s 100 percent someone else’s fault. But James, the brother of Jesus, has something different to say. When we take a step back and acknowledge what the problem really is, anger will no longer be the boss of us. more…
You’re Not the Boss of Me | Envy | North Point Community Church
Envy Andy Stanley – Envy causes us to compare and compete with others in an unhealthy way. It brings arrogance when we’re winning and discouragement when we’re not.
