I just wanted to update y'all on what we talked about last night. We have been talking about some tough stuff. Sometimes, life is hard. The people we surround ourselves can help us or make things even harder.
Hebrews 10:23-25, "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
Who are your best friends? Who influences you? Are they encouraging you? If your friends put you in a place you don't want to be or try to get you to do something you don't want to do, you need to find new friends. It is better to not have a friend at all than to have friends that put you down or pressure you to do things you shouldn't do. This doesn't mean that we can't be friends with non-believers, but we shouldn't have friends that influence us (your best friends) that are not going to encourage us toward Christ!
I challenge y'all to think about those who influence us. Are they Christ-followers? Are they going to encourage us and love us like Christ does?
I don't want you to stop there. I want to challenge you a step further! Are you the kind of friend that encourages and loves like Christ?
I can't wait to see what y'all do with this!
Next week, we will be having a fun night so bring all your friends and yourself cuz we will be playing games and eating cotton candy!
