Friendships

 Friendships That Honor God

"If your life honors the name of Jesus, He will honor you." 
2 Thessalonians 1:12
Some friendships help us honor God; these friendships should be nurtured.  Other friendships place us in situations where we are tempted to dishonor God by disobeying His commandments; friendships such as these have the potential to do us great harm.

Because we tend to become like our friends, we must choose our friends carefully.  Because our friends influence us in ways that are both subtle and powerful, we must ensure that our friendships are pleasing to God.  When we use our days in the presence of godly believers, we are blessed, not only by those friends, but also by our Creator!
